Thinking about signing up and wondering how they are performing.

Thread bump.
Metronet put out flags along our street several weeks ago ahead of laying the fiber in the yards. I'm ready to finally dump Suddenlink/Optimum, so I'd like to hear others experiences with Metronet too.

Curious of the performance as well. We were paying $220 before taxes for cable/internet. They dropped my package to $180 after 5 minutes. Cancelled cable anyways and picked up YTTV and I'm paying around $170 now. Metronet can get me faster speeds for about $50 cheaper a month so I'd like to switch but I'm worried it's too new.

can you use your existing router with their setup? do you have to rent their equipment?
Check with Frontier, they've also been silently pulling fiber thru Austins Colony in the conduits. If they've already ran the conduit (orange and blue tubing) in the ground along your street, Frontier may have already pulled their fiber thru. I know some folks that are still waiting in AC for metronet while Frontier is already in use on their street.wadd96 said:
We bought a house in Austin's Colony but unfortunately Metronet hasn't quite reached our street. We are one of only 3 or 4 houses on our side of the street.
Did Metronet charge you to run the fiber from the box to (and inside) your house? My BIL set an appointment with them and when they showed they said they were going to have to trench his yard from the street, around to the back of the house and then drill through his brick veneer.TransplantedRedRaider said:
We have had metronet for nearly 2 months now. Very happy with the service and their people are nice and very professional. Super fast internet that's dependable. Not cutting out several times per day, as Suddenlink did. One outage happened when another contractor dug thru the fiber. Not their fault but it was repaired quickly, and they were very professional on the phone.
Side note--quitting suddenlink was a difficult as everybody said it would be. Then we got a bill for the equipment we returned. Shocking, right? Fortunately, we turned it into a human and got a receipt for it, but we are still having to fight about it.
