Alternatives to Breezeline/Atlantic Broadband

I am not sure if Verizon offers 5G service on the lake yet, but if they do I will get it there as well! We have it at home in Nashville and it is 35/month and there are zero wires, only a small box. It has worked great with all tv's and computers running. I am hoping they get lake area service so we can dump all the crap we have had over the years and the poor customer service!

Upon research, here is the cheapest way I found to get phone and internet service:

Tracfone 1 year unlimited calling $200

Consolidated Communications internet only: about $625/year with all surcharges included

Total: $825/year---I am currently paying $1500 for CC landline and internet.

The hitch: the CC plan is for 3 MB. I don't care about speed or multiple devices. I can stream videos quite well with 3 MB, with occasional very brief delays. 3 MB is fine for my internet-heavy work. CC also offers 20 MB for $52 a month plus surcharges, but I'm told that CC's infrastructure can't deliver 20 MB.

Unlike what others have said, CC would not budge at all on their price to a longtime customer---no "customer loyalty" negotiations at all.

Hub66 seems like a good local internet company (headquartered in Bristol) but to date they reach very few places. I talked with them and they seemed like honest, low-pressure folks.
