Suddenlink internet equipment and fees

• Wi-Fi modem – Renting a modem through Suddenlink costs $10/mo. and it comes with a router. If you do not want to rent your modem through Suddenlink, however, you do not have to. Suddenlink gives you the option to buy your own modem instead of paying the $10/mo. rental fee. Just note that you will likely not receive Suddenlink tech support if you do not rent your modem through Suddenlink. 
• Installation fee – For all internet plans except the 100 Mbps plan, Suddenlink waives the standard installation fee. If you buy the 100 Mbps plan, you will have to pay the $99 standard installation fee. Regardless of your plan, Suddenlink charges $149 for the premium installation. With the premium installation, Suddenlink will hardwire one of your devices and set up Wi-Fi on up to six of your other devices. Suddenlink will also assist you in creating your Suddenlink ID. 
• Network enhancement fee – You will be charged an additional $3.50/mo. for the network enhancement fee. 
• Activation fee – While some providers include the activation fee in the installation fee, Suddenlink does not. Suddenlink charges an additional $40 to activate your internet. 
• Unreturned equipment – If you rent your modem through Suddenlink and do not return it, Suddenlink will charge you up to $150. 
• Auto pay and paperless billing – The advertised price reflects the $5 discount for enrolling in Auto Pay and Paperless billing. If you opt out of this, you will be charged an additional $5/mo. 
• Contract – There are no contract commitments with Suddenlink, so you never have to worry about an early termination fee. 
• Data caps – All of Suddenlink’s internet packages include unlimited data. 
• Price increase – Unless you purchase the 1 Gbps plan, your monthly bill will increase after 12 months on the 100 Mbps plan and after 24 months on the 400 Mbps plan.
