They offer services mostly in the mid-west region, offering month-to-month broadband plans and fiber phone and TV streaming services at reasonable rates.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Metronet Internet plans start at $29.95\/month and offer download and upload speeds up to 5 Gbps (5,000 Mbps). While their plans seem inexpensive, there is no price guarantee. Customers can expect a rate hike after 12, 24, and 36 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
