Astound Broadband Powered by RCN Internet Plans and Pricing

Discussing RCN internet plans isn’t easy because not all plans are available across all areas serviced by the company. What’s more, how much available plans cost varies from location to location.

To give you at least some idea of what you can expect, let’s take a closer look at RCN internet plans in Chicago:

Someone who lives in New York City, for example, has to pay only $14.99 a month for the closest equivalent of the 110 Mbps Internet plan, which is the 100 Mbps Internet plan. The Gig Internet plan is cheaper as well, costing just $39.99 a month instead of $44.99. The 400 Mbps Internet plan isn’t available in New York City, but the 600 Mbps Internet plan is, and it costs $29.99.

As you can see, even the most expensive RCN internet plan in one of the costlier locations serviced by RCN is quite affordable, and the cheaper plans are a true bargain.

These are introductory prices we’re talking about, mind you, and they include a $5 discount for 12 months with ebill & autopay. They also exclude surcharges and fees (more about them later in this RCN internet review). What’s important, however, is that you don’t have to sign a contract regardless of which plan you choose, so you can theoretically keep taking advantage of the introductory prices indefinitely.

All plans are unlimited, so your RCN internet speed is guaranteed to remain constant regardless of how much data you download each month.

If you’re someone who uses the internet only for regular office work or casual web browsing and lightweight steaming, then the less expensive plan should be able to meet your needs without any problems. Families and heavy users should consider the mid-range plan, while the top-of-the-range gigabit internet plan is perfect for those who live on the internet and download gigabytes of data every day.
