well, I see 2 of you are paying more than I am. I'm at $147/mo. for hd couple hundred channels and high speed internet. I box, but others can log in on computers for all the tv.
No phone or extra sports channels. My kid told me to check out the hulu site. You get more stuff, but it costs twice as much as sling, and the add-ons are more. Someday soon I'm going to check out the 7 day free trial on sling and see if my current internet can bear the weight and if there is anything I would miss. I'm so excited! It would be down to something like $70! That would be keeping the best tier of Comcast internet. I haven't heard of anything better here. | ||

Yes I've had one for years. My husband bought it thinking it was something else. You get a little palm-sized platform and a remote and a wire. You pay for the device and that's it. Accesses both free and stuff you have to pay for.

For anyone who has cable....they do raise your rates every year. You have to call them and tell them you cannot pay these prices. They will change your rate especially if you are ready to leave them. The new rate is usually good for a year.

yes, I do that and it still gets higher even with the concessions. I think at this point I am paying to make up for all the ex-customers who wised up and left.

Keep in mind that internet prices seem to be going up, and streaming uses that! Our phone company recently changed to "wide open internet", which was was supposed to be less--we were paying $45 a month--now, it has a minimum, and if you go over, it's way more--internet TOTAL was $150 this month--boys use Netflix and streaming a lot, too, and we also have our DISH, which my husband and I love. They also watch that.

I DID IT!!!
I cut the cord! I'm getting Sling Blue for $25/mo. for up to 3 devices, kept the internet with Comcast. I'm getting 25mbps for $50/mo. If that's not enough, the next step up will be $70/mo. I'm so happy I feel like I've lost 100 pounds! ($147/mo. and on demand and high def not working half the time!) The only bad part is now I need to get my tv hooked up to the good sound, a Sony sound system I won on here about 2008 or so. It will take some time because the sockets for the wires are in the back of the TV and the TV is wall-mounted. My kid came over the other night to set me up with Sling, and he didn't want to get into that project that late. So I am stuck with crummy TV speakers until he decides to do it. But I'm so happy! | ||

I had Brighthouse since I bought the house in June 2000 and was at $115/month (phone, internet and cable) when Spectrum took over from Brighthouse in August 2016. They said I was on a four part promo offer and raised my rate three times in 2017.
Last October, they said that the next increase in April 2018 would take me to $174/month. I immediately called Frontier, which was overcoming a rocky takeover of Verizon FIOS. Frontier was having a promo, so for $123, I have 2 years no contract phone, internet, cable, DVR and two years free HBO. | ||

I wish I had so many choices as others seem to have!!
4 mbps for $46 + and that's bundled with phone ( DSL is all that's available other than satellite ). One company to choose from... no cable around. The only tv has to be satellite. I tried streaming and wasn't happy with what came of it with the hiccups in our internet plus slow speed. | ||
