I haven’t watched television since April. Cancelled cable and watch exclusively Netflix now. I don’t miss it at all, and it’s stuff like this that makes me a little extra happy that I stopped watching TV proper.

I am about to do the same. After the special promotion was over, Comcast's "bundle" doubled in price to $270 a month. Within the next week, I am cancelling cable TV and keeping only phone service (for the moment) and cable internet.

This raises a few questions and any Freeper help would be appreciated.

When I cancel cable TV will the Comcast cable outlet it uses be available for internet access?

Will that internet access be available for Amazon Fire TV and Netflix and other "smart TV" features?

Thanks in advance

I still have the Comcast cable modem for Internet. Runs me about 30 bucks a month. And that of course enables Netflix and any other streaming services that might come up. I’ve never used Amazon or Hulu or any of the others, but certainly might if and when my financial situation improves.
