this time I'm going to choose a location that has some competition. Geeze

Centurylink is in over 33 states now. Fiber isn't available in all cities/states but they have an online deal for 1gig fiber for a flat $65/mo. No fees/taxes/added on bs. Just a flat $65 charged each month. Free modem. Free professional installation. Zero contract. Regular cable or DSL internet is even cheaper (although sometimes Centurylink charges a modem fee for that). Meaningful competition is a good thing. 300mb internet-only Comcast cost almost double that after taxes and fees etc. Centurylink also includes unlimited data on all plans.

The only possible drawback is some people have complained about trouble forwarding ports if they want to host a server. Not sure if that's a case of lousy modems or if fiber requires the extra ONT modem to also forward ports. Also, if you live in a DSL-only city, that's mediocre at best.

Countries outside the US often have much, much cheaper internet.
