Wire 3’s plan is a limited-time summer offer until July 4th, with pricing reduced across the fiber internet lineup and the first month free. The Liftoff plan, which offers 250 megabits-per-second upload and download speeds at $30 a month, is down 25% from the original price.
The Ascent plan offers 1 Gigabit per second for $40 a month, down 33.3%; the Orbit plan offers 5 Gbps for $60 a month, down 25%; and the Warp Speed plan offers 10 Gbps for $80 a month, down 27% from original prices.
Wire 3 is also bundling YouTube TV access on higher speed plans, offering up to four months free on its top tier for a $331.96 value. Following the complimentary streaming period, the service will continue at the previous monthly rate.
“It's no secret that prices are going up everywhere, but at Wire 3, we’re lowering ours,” saidJai Ramachandran , Wire 3 CEO, in the press release. This deal comes as inflation jumped to 4.2% in May, the highest it has been since early 2023 due to rising energy costs and fuel prices.
Ramachandran explained, “As a Florida company through and through, we believe fast, reliable internet should meet consumers where they’re at, even the pricing. At Wire 3, we’re focused on doing things faster and putting Floridians first as we wire communities for.”
NEK is offering a $59 fiber internet plan with no installation fee, unlimited data, and local customer support. For income-qualified households, the price may be reduced to just $29. The plan offers 50 Mbps upload and download speeds, ideal for small households or those with moderate internet use.
In the press release, NEK Executive Director Christa Shute said, “This price reduction is possible because of Vermont’s commitment of ARPA grant dollars and Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment grant funds.” The BEAD program will fully fund construction for unserved addresses in the company’s district, allowing companies to lower costs for customers.
