DirectTVnow streaming live tv @~$50, but 2 screens by default, or 3 for $5 more/month...

Had to correct, but Directvnow streaming has been great!
(DVR included, on their end, so I got the re-see the Starbucks cup on GOT, when I missed it streaming.

If there was a FiOS cap, I'd leave.

We stream Hulu, Netflix, and Directvnow. It has been perfect (price and function-wise)!

Annually I call back saying I'd like to cancel because ATT U-Verse is offering a better deal (they usually are) and they get me back onto a promotional pricing tier. It's worth the call and playacting.

I also moved to Ooma for phone because VOIP is VOIP, nothing terribly sexy about it, and Ooma costs about $5/month for me after I bought the device.

You gotta do the dance with Comcast

I've been a Comcast customer for decades. No matter what I do, my monthly service rate always climbs back up to just shy of $200 a month for Triple Play.

When that happens I call them up and tell them I want to cancel because they've gotten so expensive and I'm going to switch to (Direct TV, Youtube TV, ATT, take your pick).

They send me to somebody in customer retention who tell me, "Great News, we can reduce your rate to $120 a month and improve service in some way or another for 6 months or a year if I just agree to agree not to cancel for that time. I do it, the 6 months or year goes by, and my rate is back to just under $200 and we start all over again.

I signed up for Sling to get a show my wife wants to watch together. 15 a month for 45 channels.

PLUTO TV !!!! if you have internet......it is FREE and can be easily loaded on phones and any streaming devices. it has a real nice menu....AND it gets a lot of channels that i cannot get using comcast tv. Pluto tv is installed on VIZIO tvs from the factory. i even use it on my i phone while driving and listen to forensic tv programs. it has yet to skip a beat. you owe it to yourself to check this gem out.

Of the myriad channels available on our Comcast subscription, I think I watch, maybe, four stations.

I use trim for my comcast and att bill. Its a service that uses AI to negotiate with comcast for a discount on your service or to apply a promotion to your bill. It also tracks service outages and contacts customer service to get a small refund for the outage. They charge %25 of what you save so if they get you a $10 discount from comcast you pay trim $2.50.

Play their game-
Set up an account in 1 persons name....

90 days later say you are moving out and cancel service

Have spouse call and set up service in her maiden name


when the promo ends- have her call and move out
you call and set up new service for the new customer special


and consider dumping cable

Switch to comcast business for no data cap. For phone use callcentric.com ($3.45/mo) and get an Obi200 or Obi202 voip adapter. For cable just get netflix and then add hbo or showtime for just long enough to binge watch the new season of whatever show you like.

We used to have Comcast. Service was decent but in order to watch the channels I wanted to watch, I had to buy packages I didn't need. And they kept raising the rates all the time. Every once in a while my wife would call them, threaten to leave, and then they'd drop their rate dramatically. Then it would inch up again.

Finally said good bye to them and went with ATT Uverse. That was good but I was still paying for a lot I never used. Cut it down to the most basic, bottom of the line package and still found I was not using it. So, we stopped ATT and returned their boxes.

Now we have Apple TV only with access to everything they offer plus Netflix (13/month) and Amazon Prime. That's all we need. And with the Apple TV, I can stream anything from the internet on the TV from my phone or iPad.

I still get 100 Mbps internet from ATT for 20/month. It all costs me 33/month plus whatever I buy from Apple or Amazon. That's it.

The vast majority of programming on the networks is pure rancid garbage.

I get the cheapest available Xfinity plan in my area which is $35/month ($60 after taxes and fees)

60Mbps Internet
10+ Channels, which include local channels

I tried asking for a lower tier Internet speed to save even more money but 60Mbps is the lowest.

Our house has 10+ devices that connect to the Internet, including 2 IoT devices. We game, we live stream, and we watch streaming video all the time and frankly 60Mbps is overkill for us.

Keep in mind that watching Netflix in HD only uses 5Mbps or less. My brother refuses to get anything lower than the fastest Internet package because he doesn't like when things get "laggy" I've tried telling him that unless he's constantly downloading or uploading large files for work, he doesn't need all that fast an Internet speed.
