Top Discounts You're Missing on Astound Broadband

Astound Broadband operates four separate regional networks, each with different fee structures for equipment, installation, and data usage. Here is a complete breakdown of every Astound fee by region and how to eliminate each one from your monthly bill.

Astound Broadband's four networks, RCN in the Northeast and Chicago, Grande in Texas, enTouch in Houston, and Wave on the West Coast, each have distinct fee structures that are not always clearly communicated to customers. Equipment rental charges range from $14 to $20 per month depending on the network, with modem fees of up to $18 and router charges of up to $14.95. Professional installation costs $79.95 across most networks, while self-installation is available for $15 in Wave markets. West Coast customers on the Wave network face data caps on plans below 1 Gbps, with overage charges applying when monthly usage exceeds the allotment. Additional fees include a $9.99 account activation fee, a $6.97 monthly network access and maintenance fee on some plans, and late payment fees of up to $15. For households on a budget, these individual charges can add $300 or more to annual Astound costs beyond the advertised plan price.
