Ever wonder why they don’t drop channels don’t watch? Maybe they do but who notices?
When people get their Comcast bill before they open the envelope they’re paying $35-$40 for a sports fee and a broadcast fee. (not to mention the rip off for renting their equipment, )That’s before you pay for your cable TV or your Internet or your phone. Isn’t it amazing what they get away with. Cancel everything except for your Internet, you don’t need a house phone use your cell phone and subscribe to YouTube TV. Go to Best Buy and buy a modem/router. But even if you do that, Comcast will still rip you off by excessively charging you for the lowest Internet service you can get.
