| Looks pretty good... 7mb/1mb for $40/mo. is a good price. Could it be that they have such a small footprint compared to other ISPs that they are able to offer it at such a reasonable price?
In comparison, Comcast charges $59/mo. for their 8mb/768 service, and BellSouth (AT&T) charges $42.95/mo. (Plus $2.97 "regulatory fee") for their 6mb/512 service....

1 edit | Re: Looks pretty good... I agree 7 Meg/1Meg for $40 is a great price. They most likely deployed more Rts to make the service available.
In comparison, Time Warner Cable charges $34.85 month for 7 Meg / 512kbps. [At least locally anyways.] | |

BellSouth (AT&T-SE) no longer has a Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee that was dropped over a year ago. | |

1 edit | Hawaiian Telcom Hopefully this will force Oceanic Time Warner to be more competitive with their offerings. Since there is no FiOS
here,the highest speed they offer is 8Mbps/512K for 54.90
a month (Road Runner Turbo).
The pricing for higher speed service is :
39.99 for 7Mbps service (with landline)
49.99 for 11Mbps service (with landline)
55.99 for 11Mbps service (without landline)
45.99 for 7Mbps service (without landline)
69.99 for MyChoice bundle (with 7Mbps service)
79.99 for MyChoice bundle (with 11Mbps service)
The only caveat is the 7/11Mbps service is only available
to people living 8K or 6K feet from the CO.
Edit: Hawaiian Telcom is using FTTN/ADSL+2 | |

| Re: Hawaiian Telcom said by fonzbear2000 :how fast is it if people live more than 8K away from the CO? They can still get 3Mbps service at a max of 13,000 feet and
1.5Mbps at 18,000 feet. | |
