Overall performance has been good for us on both Tv services as well as Internet. The main problem is, we never got billed the same for 48 months in a row even though our cable package and Internet package never changed. The price would start low and then go up every month and then after every three months of this I would call the Retention department and they would give me a credit and then reset my pricing at the lower amount. Always helpful.
But then the pricing escalation would start again. After 4 years I couldn't take the constant calls and their administrative billing nightmare.
I put an antenna in my attic and get 57 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS and several interesting channels. Of course I got several Spanish and religious channels. I deleted the ones I didn't want and kept the rest. I ended up with about 22 decent channels .
Because I kept their internet, I stream all the rest of the cable content I had with PlayStation Vue using Roku to select channels and guide.
Picture quality is actually better then cable because it is digital unencrypted signals that don't share a line with anyone else in the community.
It feels like a ball and chain was taken off my ankle. I'm happy as can be.
I still have a home back in the Rochester NY area that we stay at in the Summer months. I am in the process of setting it up with an antenna in the attic and receiving Over the Air signals and streaming off the internet for everything else.
Free at last!!!
