It is a huge mistake to try to resolve billing or programming issues on the phone. I like the cable boxes because they do not depend on an Internet or wifi signal to watch TV. I would recommend the website, "suppose.tv" where you can get a streaming package price for every channel you want to use. I would also suggest buying a Roku stick to use for streaming instead of using the smart TV features.

How much you save depends. If you have more than one home you can save a significant amount of money by cutting the cord and streaming. Comcast will only allow you to use your very expensive subscription at one residence. With a good streaming subscription, you are good to go at multiple locations. We dropped our cable TV service and internet service with Comcast at our northern home that was costing $265 per month. We now have Comcast internet only at both homes (which includes Peacock), subscribe to YouTube TV, Netflix, and Prime, and have high speed internet and streaming at BOTH homes for a combined total of $205. So, not only do we save $60 per month, but now we have high speed internet and streaming at our Villages home as well. I am fully aware that I will be renegotiating the cost of our high speed internet connection with Comcast, at both homes, when our internet contracts expire. I did have to invest in two routers/modems and a few Roku devices to set up the new configuration, but that will pay for itself in short order. It took a little adjustment time to get used to streaming, but now we enjoy it more than cable TV and will never look back.
