Can't a company just deliver on the promises they make? I'm sick of them all. I guess I'm Sticking to Comcrap. In all fairness, they have been good to me for the last several years. I'm just waiting for the inevitable from them. Whatever!

Am at the same point. Honestly either do not understand "streaming", the concept yes, the actual process to switch, no. Have comcast, started at about $99 a mo. years ago, never had any kind of service problem except many years ago during the "big one" the hurricane around 2004 maybe. But, the monthly bill has of course doubled. Hubby has no interest in these things (TV providers, options, etc.) but we have two newish ( 1 yr old Samsung, and a Vizio 5 mos.) "smart" TV's and I was interested in exploring dropping cable. Heard these ads about only $40 a month, some less, for all the channels you could want including local ones, etc. etc. But (pardon my ignorance of this subject) seemed to me that price would be misleading as internet would surely be required also ? Right ? So I call Comcast, bill now up to $188 a mo. with over $20 in "fees" (???) of every kind. So I asked about taking only the internet service. They told me that my internet ONLY would cost $92 a MONTH, plus, "fees". They could not give me any information on the additional "fees", said it "depends on too many factors" (exact words !) and I then asked for a FEW examples of what kinds of "factors" determine the "fees", and was told (I know, unbelievable but true) by the person "it's just TOO COMPLICATED to answer your question with any accuracy" ! ! So I said, would you tell me what an "average" amount of "fees" would be in this area of Florida, should I figure somewhere in the $10 range ? $20 range ? and once again, they just do not have any average figures. I know this is NOT possible, they do have a "rough" idea of what the fees come to in a particular zip code of Florida. So, again since I am very ignorant of the subject, to use "apps" on the smart TV, do you also have to take internet service from Comcast ? Are there other companies ? I known some neighbors (Lake Sumter area) used to get their internet service from Embarq (?) but have no idea if that service is still in business. So, how does one "cut the cord" to Comcast, and then go about getting a new internet service and use the "smart" TV ? Seems if one could get an internet company for $45-$50 a month, and then can get the same 200 plus channels as Comcast (we have no special channels like HBO, Show Time, etc.) for another $45-$50, we'd be cutting our bill by approximately $100 ? But, how to accomplish ?
