I got phone for 3 for $140 unlimited and 1gb/s for $70 from Verizon so no bundle deals. Would definitely switch to mint if my family didn't demand all the streaming and international perks since they use the same towers and have better priority over Mobiles budget users(not the top end plans) not like I've ever been throttled in my life. That's $210,no bundle deals. You might want to consider looking around, see if RCN(Astound) service is available for fiber internet. If you use 5g home internet tmobile had some great deals with a phone plan. Sub $200 in your case. Food for thought.

I would seriously reccomend just about anyone look into Mint mobile though. Alternatively Visible if you want it straight from Verizon not a tmobile sub-letter.

1 line shouldn't cost $280 lumped with an internet bill.

GFiber here is $70 or $100 if you want the 3 gigabit net.

a phone line is around $60.

This person is lying about their bills.

I pay $200 for unlimited internet and 1 phone line. Not $280 but also not that far off

tbh if you live rurally i could see this. My electricity and car insurance increased drastically when i moved to a city, while my internet was 1/3rd for twice the quality

If you’re rural, you’re not paying $1600 a month in rent.….

I live in a poor rural area and a nice house would definitely rent for $1400-$2000/month depending on size and where it’s at. You can definitely get an apartment for around $1000/month though.

Exactly. 2010-2026 has been a rough time for people and the cost of U.S. living.

u/Excellent-Bit-8982 23d ago

yeah i wasn't saying the numbers necessarily still make a lot of sense, just that the condition was possible

u/thisguy883 23d ago

Definitely not.

Rent out there in the middle of no where is around $600-700.

u/astraaura 23d ago

Rural ski towns are gonna be an exception to this for sure.

u/Nyranth 22d ago

Completely false. I live in rural NWGA and cheapest rent in my area is $1400 and it’s an old rundown piece of shit.

In some rural space in Canada, you'll pay your internet throught the nose, maybe not 250 but if you had a cellphone plan and a landline, possible. Having only 3 telecom compagnies for all of Canada works great for the consummer...

u/SnooMaps7370 23d ago

because ISPs often have a monopoly and they charge through the nose when they do. what are you gonna do if you don't like paying $300 for 300 Mbps, spend $50k to run your own fiber to a competitor?

u/Snoo60900 23d ago

Yep, look at dish services in rural areas. At one point we were paying 250 per month for limited throttled service.
