The American enemy, purveyor of anti American propaganda, left wing extremist promoter, COMCAST is hemorrhaging customers. The need for Comcast to exist is no more.
Had to cut cable service a while back. It was just too expensive. The bill for TV, Internet and phone was approaching $400 a month. Crazy.
What the hell kind of title is that? Shouldn’t there be some punctuation, or is it the new style of journalists to go to a random word generator?
We have several tvs (LG and Samsung) that came with a program that streams dozens of channels with our internet. We have Prime and Netflix but don’t pay the $250+/mo my dad and others pay for cable channels. We have everything we need for about $65 a month plus the charges for our subscriptions.

But they are probably switching to YouTube TV.
I have a Roku TV that gives me all the channels I can handle, for free except for the need to have an internet connection. But mostly I still watch the local channels. I could use a way to record shows that are on too late like SWAT tonight. I go to bed at 10 and get up at 5.
Wonder how many of the customers were so-called public servants sticking taxpayers with their Verizon bills...
Our total monthly is $55 for the ISP and no other services. Worked out just fine. As to phones, $22 monthly for each of us. Just don't need "them." Walked away. Strolled, really.
I stream over ROKU boxes which are a conduit for a ton of FREE channels/content. Also, I have OOMA VOIP phone service that costs $8/month - includes free long distance.
Total monthly cost for Internet, Sling, Free channels, House Phones - $118.
I have access to a ton on movies and shows. I can't see paying a cable provider or paying for expensive streaming channels whose content for me is mostly unappealing.
Just last month I dropped Dish in favor of YouTube TV. Saved me $100/mo. I have ATT Fiber for my Internet. Also have Prime TV. Would love to have access to Dr Who, but no way I am paying for Disney+.
We dumped cable 7-8 years ago and never looked back. I think our TV is in the garage. We watch everything online on our tablets.
Comcast is great for low income households where you can get service for about $20 a month.
We’re still on Comcast because our paradise on the coast is too remote for any other provider. Basic internet with no TV. I can count on one hand the hours of shows I stream per month, but my trophy wife needs her shows...
the Peacock streaming service saw 41 million new subscribers in the quarter

I don’t believe that. Maybe they have 41 million total subscribers and I’d bet a large portion are on a low cost 3 month trial. People cut cords only to realize they are being subscribed to death with too many services. It is unsustainable imo. There needs to be a couple of mergers.
I HATE Commiecast.
Cox - $300/mo, connection, internet, phone, second-tier tv. All a la cart. Cox guy made a bit of a face when I was turning in the equipment. He asked “Ideatek?” and I said yeah. Told him service was great, costs just got out of hand. Hopefully he passed that on. Enough complaints may get the problem fixed.
Ideatek - Connection and internet merged, add the phone, $97/mo.
Sling $60-something. Local outfit, central Kansas. They buried fiber out my place about a year ago, finally started doing installations about beginning of this year.
No complaints about the Cox service, it just got to cost too much for what I was getting.
Ideatek has been great so far.
Nephew out in semi-boonies Alabama went with the Starlink (Musk) connection, as the local outfit is fairly unreliable. He’s getting 200 to 300 M downloads and is very happy with it. That one runs him $120/mo. (Yeah I checked with him)
I cut the cable for content in 2016.
I cut the cable for internet service in 2022.
Fixed wireless is great if you are near a tower.
I pay 50 a month for downloads of 150 to 200mps without any modifications like a MIMO antenna.
Plus I get the MLB package for free which saves me around 12 dollars a month.
