I was very close to closing on a house in rural midwest but I checked isp's and every one available had caps so I just stayed away.
It's why you just get a business line, usually just slightly more expensive, and you get 99.9% SLA uptime and unlimited cap.
You shouldn't need a business line to get reliable, fast, unlimited internet.
O %100 agreed. Just suggesting a way around the bullshit cap they impose.
And a static IP, and the ability to do whatever you want with the fiber
Yep a static IP is great for hosting dedicated servers
Good choice. I live in the rural midwest and the only thing that'll reach (even though we're in the flatlands) is a WISP we pay $170 a month for 12/6. No data caps, but it's slow as shit. At least it's not satellite so we can still play games online fairly reliably but damn.
Great internet is also a deciding factor for us while looking for our next rural midwest home! I use the FCC Broadband Map and availability searches on local ISP websites to confirm available speeds and no data caps. We passed on some great homes because of slow/no internet or data caps.
Our current rural midwest home has 940x35 w/o data caps from a cable-based (DOCSIS 3.1) ISP for $34.99/month. I'm sure they will increase the price after 12 months. When the time comes, I'll call them again to complain and get a decent price again.
