Overall, Smithville is a decent buy. You’ll get high speeds and unlimited data without signing a contract. Bundling internet with other Smithville services (except TV) provides additional savings. You can combine internet with a landline, home security, or both. Just know that home security service requires a three-year contract.
While a wireless router is included in your plan at no additional cost, you’ll probably see other hidden fees and taxes due to local regulations. How much depends on where you live.

Smithville doesn’t offer any deals for switching from a different provider, but you might save money simply because of Smithville’s low-cost fiber internet. To get started, you’ll have to pay a $25 activation fee. And depending on your location, you may need to pay $125 to run lines from the street to your home or $50 to add a jack in your home. But if you’re near the end of your contract with your old provider, it could be worth switching to Smithville anyway. Since there’s no contract, it’s easy to try it out and ditch it if you’re not happy.
To cancel service, call Smithville customer service. While many providers offer money-back guarantees if you cancel within the first few weeks of service, Smithville doesn’t. However, you’re not locked into a contract, so you won’t have any early termination fees. The one cancellation fee you could see is for the optional Connection Protection add-on, which waives service and technician fees if you need help troubleshooting. This service requires a contract. If you cancel before one year, you’ll have to pay for the rest of the year. But honestly, it’s not that bad. The plan costs $3.95 per month, which will run you less than $44 even if you cancel just one month in.
