I mentioned it to a mom on my caseload and she got excited until I mentioned the up-front price. One Google result showed the top 8 Internet providers, but I clicked on 12 providers in Show Low- Frontier, with up to 500 Mb download, for $60--rated 1.6 stars.
- Sparklight, which we have. There are different packages, but they advertise 200 Mb down for $65, with a 600 GB cap. It doesn't have any reviews. I don't always have a stable connection for Zoom, but I just got 113 Mbps.
- Viasat for $70. 25 Mb down, 2 stars, and no cap. Allegedly you can get 50 Mb for $100.
- Hughes offers 20 Mb down for $70 and has 2 stars, with a 20 GB soft data cap, but they offer 50 Mb for $150.
- TWN may serve my area, but one does not simply check their ZIP, they must get through sales first! They offer 5 Mb down for $50, 10 Mb for $80, and 15 for $100. They don't have any reviews, but they allegedly don't have a cap, either.
Look guys, I am really good at counting to 12, that was just 5!
