I’ve never had any of the regular outages or customer service issues that I often read about online when Comcast comes up, but I still cancelled their service recently because they charge way too much for what you get. Where they really get you over time is the equipment rental fees.

I have century link fiber where I live so I switched to that for only $55/month AFTER taxes/fees and that gives me 550 Mbps up/down. That’s more than enough bandwidth for several simultaneous 4K streams. There is no equipment rental fee for the modem.

I also signed up for Directv Stream (via my Apple TV boxes) for ~$70/month that includes all the traditional TV channels I actually care about.

All told, getting rid of Comcast is saving me close to $200/month and there is not a single thing I’m missing out on.
