Disadvantages of WOW!
Setting up WOW!
Whether you’re moving into a new home or simply switching providers, you also need to factor in how the service will be installed. WOW! offers free installation on all its internet packages if you order your service online. To get WOW! internet service, you’ll need a modem which you can rent with built-in WiFi from the company for $10 per month, or supply your own compatible unit at no cost. If you’d like to purchase your own to save on the monthly rental cost, review WOW!’s compatibility requirements. Purchasing a modem can cost as little as $46.99 and will pay for itself in less than half a year. WOW! does not offer self-setup, so either way, a technician will need to come to your home to set up service.
