Default cable and internet

I think that I have only one provider for internet and that is xfinity. I live in Del Mar.

I am trying to cancel cable and have only internet service. They just quoted me $97 a month!!!

May I ask what others are paying for internet only?

Talk about being held captive!

I posted about slow internet last month, that got over my head.
I really apperciate any help that I can get.

I have Xfinity internet and pay $50 a month. The first month was about $100 because of installation.

I just went to Xfinity website. The most expensive internet is 1.2 gigabytes for $85 a month and the cheapest is 75 mbps for $20.

That is for internet only.

If you get add ons such as phone or cable, the price will go up.

Exact same thing for us, signed up for it last fall. Sure as $hit, I’ll have to argue with them to keep the price from skyrocketing when the contract expires. We also have both Netflix and Prime for streaming through our Roku soundbar, as well as our trustworthy antenna for lots of free Television from the Orlando area.

Unfortunately, Fiber is not possible so only DSL is available in your area

I have seen xfinity as low as 25 a month for one year of 75 speed. Call and say too much a few times. Babble cost of living too high, senior fixed income, etc. They will come down. The marginal cost to them is minimal.

Agents get demerits for losing a customer. Likely a foreign call center reading from a script

You might want to look into the 5G cellular based internet access offerings from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

Default Thank you,

I spent 1hr 50min at Xfinity. Can’t explain what I got, but will cancel cable and go to xfinity NOW tv. No contracts so will give it a try. Also switched from ATT phone to xfinity (Verizon) and saved a lot. No contracts, supposedly forever prices.

Thanks for the replies. Only have xfinity available so hope I got the best with what I have.

Thanks again.

This. At the very least, if you don't like it, you come back to xfinity as a "new customer" and get a good new customer deal.

That is incorrect. The Village of Del Mar has cable internet. I just checked a random vacant home in that neighborhood, and found the options someone else mentioned above:

75mbps for $20, 200mbps for $35, 400mbps for $55, and 800mbps for $70. There's also 1GB for $80 and 1.2GB for $85.

None of those are DSL service.

I think they meant DSL is the only option apart from cable/Xfinity.

I have Quantum Fiber. It looks like they are offering two plans, one for $50 & one for $75. You go to their website & check if it is available at your address.

I have the lower level plan & it is wonderfully fast.

Do you have your own equipment (modem and router)? That price may aLao include ‘renting’ the Xfinity equipment.
