Holy fiber Batman!

@SMcNeill
how much does it cost you?
I have a 300 Mbps fiber connection for about $46 a month, I have the option to upgrade to 1 Gbps but I don't need it, 300 Mbps is all I need

Ours is a local telephone co-op, of which my family has been a part of since they come over in the MayFlower, I guess.  Recently, I got a letter that as a "Legacy Co-owner" in the co-op, that my rates would be going down to $35.00 per month for unlimited access.  I'm certain that's not a going rate for all customers, just something for us for "being a part of the family for 100 years" or some such thing.  I didn't read the details the most, but I was happy for the price reduction. 

I just checked -- their other unlimited plans start at $60 for 100Mbps, and go up to $200 per month for unlimited GB speeds.   They offer metered plans (such as 2TB up/down transfer limits) at lower prices, so I'm getting one heck of a deal for being in the same place and on their same systems since...  1968, I guess, was when my parents had the first phone installed in our home.  Everyone had party lines before then, and my father paid extra to have the first dedicated private line in the county.   When they first started talking fiber, I ended up paying several thousand dollars myself, to have it branch from the main road to my home early.   I guess this is their way of giving back to us, after years of us giving to them as well.
