Astound Broadband has introduced a pricing structure — including a price lock offer — that it says will “eliminate confusion, offer greater value, and give customers full control over their connectivity.”
“Our customers want fast, reliable service with transparent pricing — and that’s exactly what we’re delivering,” said Toni Murphy, EVP and Chief Operating Officer at Astound. “This isn’t just a price update. It’s a powerful shift in how we serve our customers, with unmatched flexibility, freedom from contracts, and the quality service we’re known for.”
The disclaimers at the company site say that regular rates apply when the promotional period ends, that equipment is not included and that discounts appear on “within 3 cycles after enrolling.”
Highlights of the offer:
- $30 per month on Astound Broadband internet includes $10 monthly savings with autopay/paperless billing and a one-year price lock, after which the price increases by $10 per month
- $35 per month two-year price lock option with no contract required
- Speed options from 300 Mbps to 5 Gig with no contracts or data caps where available
- Additional savings when combining internet with mobile or TV
- Self-installation at no extra cost
- Free unlimited mobile line for one year via T-Mobile’s 5G network
- Use of Astound Broadband’s Wi-Fi or customer’s equipment at no additional charge
- $19.95 per month internet for seniors, veterans, and students
In addition to the Astound Broadband offer, there is a lot of price lock news this month:
Comcast is offering new Xfinity Internet customers a five-year price lock, with prices starting at $55 per month. Subscribers can leave Xfinity at any time without a penalty.
Verizon is offering new and existing customers a three-year price lock on all plans. Existing myPlan customers are enrolled. If the customer changes the myPlan the price lock resets for another three years.
A recent study by CNET highlighted introductory offers, showing that 63% of adults have seen price increases during the past year. The study noted situations where consumers came onboard due to “attractive rates” that surged within a year. The average increase between March 2024 and March 2025 was $16.25 per month and a bit more than 1 in 10 experienced increases of more than $25 per month.
