This thread is dedicated to the frustrations of cable and the movement among MCers to cut the cord and go 100% streaming.

What are you paying for cable?

I am was paying $137/month for Comcast which is reasonable. I've never paid over this amount in the 2 years I've been subscribing.

  • 1 HD/DVR Box
  • 2 Digital boxes
  • 30 MB Internet
  • Digital Voice
  • Sports Package


I noticed my bill for last month went up $5 so I called to find out WTF? The guy said that my "DVR Trial" ran out and my bill would be $157 next month $140 is my limit, I refuse to pay over that.

My negotiation period isn't until November either. I'm playing hardball- the last time I called to cancel they gave me the sports package and the DVR but they never said that my bill would go up after a year. Now its impossible to get back down to my rate even canceled the Sports Package and the DVR. (I lose Red Zone if I cancel the Sports Package- that's the only freakin thing I want out of Comcast)

I'm working with someone on Twitter- hopefully will work out.
If not, I'll have to cancel TV everything- being a sports fan it's going to kill me.
