New internet options

[Rexchaos]

Hey peeps at LinusTechTips,

 

I recently planned to move and I need new options for my internet services right now. I reside in New York City and I currently use Optimum Ultra50 for ~65. I understand that this price is pretty bad for just internet but I was going to move soon so I had no other options. I am currently looking into Verizon Fios DoublePlay for 50 as I dont require the free sports channnels and what not of Verizon TriplePlay. Although the TriplePlay is $65 and is 100 mbps upload/download I believe 50 mbps is enough?

 

Also if anyone knows, can he/she tell me about the pricing regarding Verizon equipment fee's? Am i required to buy the box for $150 or rent it for $10? Or is it free if i sign contract/free if i sign up etc.

 

Thanks.

first of all what do you do with your internet? I'm on the worst connection in the world, but  tbh i wouldn't need 100mbps unless i was hosting or something. If you told us what you usually use the net for that would help us give you advice  

 

As for regarding verizon depends on your area, but most make you pay for the box, provide your own, or sign into a contract for 2 yrs. The best way is to call them and talk to them to find this out.
