Xplornet 30 gig add on falls a little short
With little to no Internet options, I was looking into satellite Internet. When I contacted xplornet, the information I had was 44.99/month, for I believe 20 gig. I figure we need at least 50 gig at our household, so I was pleased when I saw a 30 gig add-on for $5/month making it 50 gig for around $50 total out of the options and prices here, that seemed reasonable. I got more info from their call centre, only to be told that its on a three year contract but the usage add on would only apply to the first year for $5 a month. I was told 'then it goes back to regular price'. Expecting it would have been maybe 50% off for the year, I was a littler shocked to be told there IS no regular price, and what they were trying to tell me is that after a year for the following two years I would be paying the per gig overage charges. In my mind that isn't a change in pricing after the first year of service, but its an actual change in the product.
Their usage charges are $3.50/gig (I believe. I can't view their website properly on my phone). Pretty steep. So to continue my usage at 50 gigs/month my bill would be $45+$105 in usage! Insane!!!
Anyone else have better luck with a satellite Internet provider or know how to get a better usage plan with xplornet? None of the local ISP's can service our place with wireless. my only options are satellite or cell phone data (and wind is spotty here outside the city).
