Six months ago our internet carrier, Clearwire, notified us that
they had been bought out by Sprint and gave me a number to call to continue our
service with them. I contacted Sprint
only to find out they do not plan to provide the same service, however they
were happy to sell me a cell phone plan and then I could add data - blah, blah,
blah. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
We use a lot of data, especially since we don't have any TV
services, so it was important to me to find an unlimited data plan to accommodate
our family's needs. I spent a lot of
time researching options only to find that those options are relatively few in
our area. We rode out the end of our
time with Clearwire and switched back to Century Link last week.
It worked out well for us in that we are actually going to save a
few dollars on our monthly fees even though I decided to lease the router this
time. Usually I prefer to purchase
outright, but because technology changes so rapidly devices are quick to become
obsolete. I currently own a router that
is of no use to us because of this.
After doing the math it ended up costing about the same and if it breaks
or needs to be upgraded I'm covered.
With a purchase I'd have to pay for an replacement or upgrade.
So we are up and running once again on the worldwide web, saving a
couple of dollars each month in the process.
We continue to watch TV and movies online and are still contemplating a
Netflix subscription. We also continue
with our pay as we go cell phone plan.
Have any of you shopped around for internet service lately?
Hope your Century link is better than ours. HATE OURS. We have the fastest speed and it is like dial up. Sniff. Yours will be better probably because you don't live in the middle of nothing like I do. Hope so anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem faster. Hoping for the best. Wish there were more options. Without competition they don't have to try very hard.
DeleteI am looking for new Internet, I had Clear back from when they started. Century is not available here.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I really liked Clear. Wish they hadn't sold out.
