Right now, they are offering 3 months free (sure - it isn't really free, it is just a discount) if I sign up for a year. I just didn't know what the rate actually was.
Does Fairpoint force you into some combo with phone service? Right now I only have local service enabled so we have a landline for DSL and around town service. Long distance is on our cell phones since it is cheaper. Have you had many interruptions on fiber? If the rate above is still valid then the rate per month is (9/12)*44.95 = $33.71, which isn't too bad. Just at the threshold of pain... Actually when I first signed up for DSL it was for $35/month so it really isn't too bad. I wonder why they don't publish their rates? Are they playing cat & mouse with their competition? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
