Consolidated Flips 1-Gig in Houston

Applying some speed pressure on AT&T and Comcast, Consolidated Communications has launched a 1 Gbps residential broadband service in the Houston (TX) area, a follow-up to its first 1-Gig launch in Kansas City in late 2014. CCI said its fiber-fed symmetrical 1-Gig service is available to qualified homes for $69.95 per month, when customers agree to a two-year contract. However, CCI isn’t saddling the service with construction or installation fees.
