Sorry don't mean to be harsh but this is on you.

You are paying for a service and don't seem to know what you are getting.

If you do not watch sports then trim the fat and get rid of anything you don't need.

Why are you renting a modem? Buy your own, even a $300 modem will pay for itself eventually vs. a $15/m fee, plus 100% they spy on your traffic via their modem.

Not harsh but factual. However, the modem doesn't rid the 40 in fees for sports that I'm not interested in.

How are the speeds/reliability holding up? There have been awesome improvements since you last bought one. Something to consider for sure.

BULLSYT. they charge you for local channels you can pick up with a digital Antenna . even with the most basic of plans, along with local sports, that you know, the local channel 4/5/7/10/etc cover. Then a franchise fee , I ask them everytime I call how I buy a franchise. as that is another b/s fee. Hell, I've asked them if I return the tv box, what just internet would be a month and they claim they are not sure.

And to top it off, the Town I live in, Well not let fios in. So comcast owns the area, as internet with direct tv or dish blow. Comcast must be greasing the palms of the selectmen As they block fios every time.
