Last year, Seattle decided to join the gigabit Internet party. Gigabit Seattle has just announced its pricing, and it looks a lot like Google Fiber’s offerings.
The company said Monday that there would be three creatively named options available to subscribers when it launches the service next year:
Plan A:
- 5 Mbps download/1 Mbps upload: No charge for 60 months
- 5/1 Mbps services are transferable to new renters or owners
- After 60 months renters or owners can convert to a 10 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload service plan for only $10 per month
Plan B:
- 100 Mbps download/100 Mbps upload for $45 per month
- No installation charge with one-year contract
Plan C:
- 1000 Mbps download/1000 Mbps upload for $80 per month
- No installation charge with one-year contract
Gigabit Seattle is a partnership between Gigabit Squared and the University of Washington to bring 1Gbps connections to the Emerald City, using fiber originally planned for a municipal network.
“We are excited about the limitless possibilities our network can bring to the residents located in these areas and are confident that the affordability and high-speed performance of our fiber network will be well received,” said Mark Ansboury, president of Gigabit Squared, in a statement. “We will be providing our customers with significantly greater speed and accessibility than what’s out there today for about the same price… a true value. This will be backed by a level of customer service that will surpass anything anyone has ever experienced before.”
