Since I don't spend much time there cut back to just internet, base plan $14.99 i have the higher speed and it's a whooping $17.99, and no not a year plan and the price jacked up, had in over 2 years now. i wrote my representatives but never got a reply. I had centurylink every month had to call and be on the phone for 40 minutes or more to get the price i agreed, then after the 2 years they said i owed them an early termination fee of $150, they said getting the agreed price was a new contract? Their trick is never put anything in writing, then change the rate monthly.
Really think internet ought to be regulated like the phone was years ago, it is a necessity as far as I am concerned. Any ideas on how to address the poor service we all get?
Really don't need the cable TV, in fact i get better channels on antenna then the 45 channels on comcast!
I'll give brighthouse a call
nope just north of 466a they don't cover anything north of 466a he said.

We don't "all get" bad service. Also, not sure you should call Brighthouse if you are satisfied with your antenna. There are 4 choices south of 466A and as a free market guy, don't need government making my choices for me. When the phone company was regulated services and prices were dictated, when they were deregulated prices fell and technology advanced. So the government raised taxes and added fees because the lower prices reduced their take. Regulation helps nobody.
