Cable Modem Service
Cable modem service has been available in Sun City since the summer of 2000. The current service
provider for cable TV and cable modem service in Sun City is SuddenLink.
You can obtain general information about current offerings at
http://www.suddenlink.net. To get more specific
information about speeds of service and rates, call 1-888-822-5151 and navigate through the
touch-tone menus to residential service and order new service.
To the best of our knowledge at the present time (January 2007), the current pricing for
Suddenlink cable modem service for an existing cable television subscriber is $39.95 per month
for 4 Mbit/sec downstream and 512 Kbit/sec upstream service if you purchase the cable modem. There
is also a less-expensive, slower service at about $25/mo for 512 Kbit/sec downstream -- please
check these rates and speeds at the telephone number above.
Since the beginning of cable modem service in Sun City, Suddenlink and its predecessor companies
have provided the Computer Club with a free business account to connect both the CyberCenter and
the Ballroom to the Internet. The Club is grateful for this service donated by Suddenlink, and in
return provides technical support to Club members, through its Mentor program. This Mentor
support supplements and in many cases eliminates the need for Suddenlink technical support to Club
members who subscribe to Suddenlink service.
