Summary

  • SCRTC's new residential lineup starts at $50 a month for 500 Mbps symmetrical service and tops out at 2.5 Gbps for $90, with business offerings also being upgraded.
  • Most plans now include professional installation and a managed Wi-Fi router at no extra cost, while higher tiers add cybersecurity tools and app-based controls for devices and parental settings.
