TRADITIONAL LAND BASED OPTIONS
AT&T – Our building all have AT&T fiber installed. The slowest speed offered is 300Mbs. If for some reason you want to continue with AT&T you will now have to pay the modem rental which is $15 per month. With discounts for paperless discount and auto-pay the rate for 300Mb service is $65.00 for internet + $15.00 modem rental per month as of Oct 15, 2025. XFINITY – Our buildings were originally wired for Comcast/Xfinity, so the coax cabling is already in your unit. Many of the buildings were rewired in 2016, other buildings have very old wiring. Depending on the condition of your building’s wiring and your proximity to the service closet in your building, Xfinity may be a viable option for you. Xfinity offers a wide choice of speeds and can be had for as low as $30 + fees for 150 Mbs service. Xfinity still offers introductory pricing for new customers with a 1 year commitment on speeds above 150 Mbs. Early termination fees apply. The pricing at the end of the contract is the same as AT&T's pricing for similar speeds. |
CELLULAR OPTIONS
A MOBILE HOTSPOT - is a portable router that gets the internet from a cellular provider. Cellular data is more expensive and have lower data caps than traditional land based data plans. The equipment costs between $50 and $700 or more depending on what kind of speed and how many devices will be using it simultaneously. A household of one or two people generally would be able to get the service they want with a cellular modem costing between 50 and 200 dollars. Then you will need a data plan from a cellular carrier. Some carriers only offer annual plans, others can be month to month. For people that live in multiple locations these may can be a great option. 5G FIXED WHOLE HOUSE INTERNET This service is rolling out around the country and you may be receiving promotional information from your phone carrier or current internet provider with lucrative promotional pricing to get you to sign up. This is a service that is delivered over a 5G cellular network and offers very fast internet speeds, with no data cap. This service is different than a mobile hot spot. It is fixed service to a specific address, and requires an external antenna with an unobstructed path to the transmitting tower. Because of the need for an external antenna, this is not an option for Vista Royale. |
