Fibe internet, not bundled
Long story short, family needs changing, coupled with the loss of English Premier League/Champions League, we no longer want the TV part of our "Good" triple bundle.
I was happy with the three year price and satisfied with the extension (but lower discount) since. But there's no way I will pay the new price come September.
The pricing structure is such that only $30 or $40 can be saved by switching to just home phone and internet. The Fibe internet is currently 150 mbps. I actually get between 6 and 15 wireless, occasionally 40 but 200 mbps with the ethernet cable plugged.
As an aside I have signed up for DAZN for the soccer and it requires 8. With a wi-fi connection I have found it to buffer, presumably when the wi-fi speed falls for a second or two.
From looking over the website, it seems I can take home phone @ $32.57 and internet Fibe 100 for 72.95 for 3 years and then 99.95. I have already confirmed the discount would not available so straight to 99.95.
But this would save around $90 compared to what the new bundle price will become. For them to retain me and my bundle thay'd have to more than double the "final" discount they gave me last year.
Now, when I switched to Fibre optic internet (as it was then) I am fairly sure the speed then was 80mbps. It was brilliant for us including heavy streamers.
Later it went to 100 and then 150, both times with no extra charge.
As 80 was brilliant and we never noticed the increases to 100 and then 150, I am assuming that "dropping" back to Fibe 100 should be fine. "Too good to be true" even.
Is there something I've not considered? If the current speed is (up to) 150 mbsp, why do my wired speed tests come out as 200? How can that be?
Are they supplying me with 'better' or 'best' even though it should be just the "Good" one?
As it happens, I see they also do Fibe 300, no discount but the price is 87.95. So anyone paying the discounted 72.95 for Fibe 100 would be better of switching to 300 for 87.95 rather than paying 99.95 for 100.
It all seems bizarre. I can keep Fibe150 and phone (losing TV) and save $40 or I can scrap the bundle, replace it with phone and Fibe 300 and save $90.
There has to be something wrong but what?
