I had comcast until I realized that my cable/internet bill had creeped up to over $200 a month. After they negotiated my bill down a little, I found there to still be added fees and taxes of over $25 per month. Checking with other providers, they also tacked on fees and taxes after giving me such a "great" price. I ended up going to Centurylink for my fiber optic high speed internet for $65 per month with the promise of it ALWAYS being that price, and using Roku for my streaming. I get more TV channels now for less than I ever did with Comcast or Sat providers. Cable providers are not being truthful, unless you ask them what the TOTAL monthly cost is gong to be with fees and taxes. Cutting the cable is not difficult at all. Comcast lost almost a million subscribers last year due to their constant increase in charges. Direct and Dish are rumored to be merging due to their losses. Streaming is now and the future for TV entertainment.
