Money really matters. One way to easily wreck your monthly budget is overpaying for internet service. Sometimes, choosing an affordable plan could support your online internet usage. Listed below are some of the affordable plans that you could consider switching to:
RCN
RCN is known to have the least expensive base plans available. It offers its internet services in the following six metropolitan areas: Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City, Boston, and Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania. Speeds and plan prices differ according to the market. RCN uses a combination of fiber optic and cable technologies that help connect you to the internet. Its least expensive plan has a download speed of around 25 Mbps and costs as low as $19.99 every month. A free month of service, free equipment installation, and other such offers might be available. RCN doesn’t ask you to sign a contract. Plus, its customer service is available 24/7 and is based in the U.S.
Frontier
Frontier ranks second for the cheapest internet service and caters to 33 states. Simply Broadband Core (its most affordable plan) delivers equal upload/download speeds of 6 Mbps by using fiber optic technology and starts at $20 a month. Using this plan not only gives you unlimited data, but it also allows you to rent equipment starting at $10 per month. Other fees include early contract termination (which starts at $9.99) and installation of the equipment (which begins at $75). However, the fiber internet service isn’t available in all the markets Frontier serves.
Cox
Cox ranks third for providing low-cost internet services. The company’s least expensive plan is its Internet Starter plan. It has an upload speed of 1 Mbps and a download speed of 10 Mbps, protects you with free anti-malware and antivirus software, and starts at $29.99 a month. Although entering a long-term service contract isn’t mandatory, it could help you save money. However, the early termination of a contract could cost up to $120. Your data usage is capped at 1,000 Gigabytes (which is equal to 1 Terabyte). The internet service of Cox is available in 13 states.
