That's it. I struck out with Comcast. I believe I'm suffering from high expectations. What are you paying for cable?

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Mar 31 '17, 13:33

I've got a couple of things going against me.

Firstly, I appear to have access to more channels than my current plan allows.

Secondly, I have an expectation that not only should I get *those* channels, but even *more* channels - plus 100 Mbps internet - for less than $100.

They tell me that my existing plan (which no longer exists), if it was offered to me now, would be $99.99 (remember, with the fewer channels than I have). Add $10 for each tier above that.

Maybe I'm just expecting too much for too little.

We have hd cable and internet through Comcast. $90 for internet, $70 for cable. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 13:50 1
- OK. Yeah. I need to leave well-enough alone. -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 13:50
We were billed just over 200 for xfinity cable hd, two regular, and internet, bill fixers git it down to 159 -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 13:47 1
- We get hbo, extended cable channels, and if we wanted to, a phone -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 13:53
$74 per month for 25mbps internet, networks, pbs, home shopping, hbo. Your expectations are insane. - Amanda Mar 31, 13:45 3
- AT&T fiber by us is 1GB for $80 (probably promotional). Is it by you? -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 31, 13:48 1

- Conversely, you're not getting your money's worth! -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 13:47
$0 I quit a long time ago. $5/mo for Hulu. $8(?) for Netflix. Amazon is kinda free because I'd have it either way. I think - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 31, 13:41 2
- I'm on $30 promotional pricing for 40mbps (CenturyLink fiber) -- nm - psilotum Mar 31, 13:44 1
  - I'm hoping AT&T lights up their 1GB fiber service by us soon. I'd totally switch to that. It's in most of the cities around us - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 31, 13:47
Spectrum as a bundle but broken out - $ 70 for two premium channels HBO/Showtime - Epiphany Mar 31, 13:35
I haven't had cable in at least 6 years. I pay Time Warner, errr, Spectrum, far too much for Internet though -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 13:34
