What does that look like in real terms? Check out the table above and look again at the sticker shock awaiting Philly customers of the 300Mbps-to-940Mbps plans. While that's not the highest we've seen among cable ISPs - here's looking at you, Cox (80 cents per Mbps) - it's undoubtedly one of the starkest differences we've seen between the promo rate and the regular rate. Whereas the average cost per Mbps was 8 cents for the introductory pricing, Astound/RCN's regular rate, which kicks in after 24 months, holds an average price of 57 cents per Mbps. The not-so-great side of the story is the price jump after the introductory rate.
Here's RCN's full home internet rate card for customers in Philadelphia (promo prices not listed). That is right at the top among all cable ISPs we've reviewed, including WideOpenWest (15 cents), Spectrum (17 cents), Optimum (21 cents), Xfinity (25 cents), Sparklight (28 cents) and Cox (53 cents). Overall, across all RCN markets and plans, you will see an average cost of 8 cents per Mbps for your promo pricing. The monthly prices you see above are representative of what you'll find across all the Astound/RCN markets, but I do want to point out some of the differences as well.

We've listed below the plans available in its Philadelphia market, which sits almost squarely in the middle of the variety of options that Astound provides its customers throughout its service areas. Astound/RCN does not offer the same plans and pricing across its six markets.
This is where I felt like I was wrangling cats.
