Three-year cost of ownership
At $119.95/mo plus no install fee, this plan totals about $4,318.2 over three years before any equipment costs. Compare that to a 1 Gbps plan from any provider in the $60–80/mo range, which would total about $2,200–$2,900. Whether the extra bandwidth is worth it depends on the upload work you actually do.
Who this is for
Midwest + FL with new T-Mobile umbrella. Symmetric fiber really matters if you upload video, run multi-camera conferencing, or back up large libraries to the cloud.

What you’ll need at home
- A 10 Gbps capable router with multi-gig WAN port (Wi-Fi 7 ideal).
- Cat6a Ethernet cabling between router and any device that needs full speed.
- Multi-gig Ethernet ports or USB adapter on the device measuring speeds — standard gigabit ports will bottleneck.
- An ONT (optical network terminal). The provider installs and owns it.
