The Hidden Costs of Cheap Internet (and how to avoid them)

“Fast speeds for just $19.99 a month!”

Super cheap Internet sounds great—until that low price disappears, and your bill suddenly skyrockets.

At Nexstream, we believe your Internet bill should be straightforward from day one. No surprises, no gimmicks—just reliable service from a provider who’s part of your community.

What They Don’t Tell You About Promotional Pricing

Ever wonder how some Internet providers can afford to offer rock-bottom prices? Here’s the trick:

  • They start low to get you in the door.
  • They raise your rate once the promo period ends—often without warning.
  • They count on you staying because switching is a hassle.

The Hidden Fees That Add Up

With some providers, the price you see isn’t the price you pay. Common fees customers get hit with:

✔ Equipment rental fees – They charge you every month for the router.

✔ Installation fees – Sometimes unexpected, sometimes buried in fine print.

✔ Data overage charges – You thought you had unlimited data… until you didn’t.

✔ Administrative fees – Vague charges that keep showing up on your bill.

✔ Early termination fees – Want to switch? That’ll cost you.
