These providers have been raising their prices to the point we are ready to say good bye to them and move on. When they settled with Time Warner they bought HBO. They now charge $17.99 if you want HBO! That is just a small taste of their crawling up the cost ladder. We are serious about going to a new and different provider but want to look at options, Thanks for your help.
Hate to tell you PennBF, but I had Cable & Internet service with Spectrum for 8 yrs. & when we signed up with them our bill was 59 or $69. a month for Cable & Internet, 8 yrs. later it was $165. a month & still going up. Don't let any of these Dish or Cable Co. trick you into getting you to sign with them because they'll promise not to let your cable bill get that high that quick. They're just blowing smoke up your back side. In 7 yrs. you WILL be paying $150. a month & it will keep going up. I was surprised when we moved from TV that we got Cable & Internet for FREE, pay nothing my daughter were the first to move in this subdivision 10 yrs. ago & there's 15 to 20,000 living here & it's still FREE. Yea, 20,000 is about the size of one of your subdivisions. Anyway the only way you can beat the raising prices is to switch cable companies every 2 yrs. you're not going to get away from it long term.
Good Luck!
