Optimum plans and prices
Real cost is the two-year monthly average with the promo step-up, equipment rental and install fee folded in. It is the number worth comparing.
Nobody has checked these plans against the provider yet. They were written from general knowledge, not compiled from a source, so treat every figure as a starting point rather than a quote.
