Maybe if you buy your own equipment it can get cheaper. Black Friday and Cyber Monday is the perfect time to look into it

Literally most tech companies are laying off. If it goes bankrupt, I'll switch back to RCN with intro pricing

Makes sense. Those guys are great. Roll in with free pizza & cookies...I don't think my apt will see the intro promo again

Sad part is, I own my own modem & router. I tried multiple agents but its useless. Just thinking of switching

Ahh. It's 6x expensive compared to Starry, but I guess bundling might make it worth it

Wow, you have it worse than me. Is your current ISP the only option in your area?

Yeah, I'm really wary of Comcast where their advertisement is better than actual service. I'll look into T-mo but that 2 year contract seems sus. I would rather go with a flat rate plan Starry offers

I tried chat, calls & social media but not much.
I have used Starry in the past. It's similar to T-mo's 5G setup. Doesn't look great when compared to Comcast advertised speeds, but they offer close to what they promise. It sucks sometimes during bad weather. They say they started in Boston because windy weather helps them figure out how to improve those weather issues

I already asked them to disconnect, and don't foresee a better deal. I think I would rather switch to Starry which offers good service and would still save
The devil that is Comcast, does offer a better deal though...it's so tempting

I don't, there are like 3 coax outlets. I can go with Starry too, bit more expensive but I liked their service

Reply to comment by Exit_127 in How much do you pay for the internet? by accion12
Yep,. fixing it now. I live by myself but definitely can switch to either Comcast or Starry
Comcast - 400 Mbps @ $30/mo for 2 years Starry - 200 Mbps @ $50/mo

FIOS isn't available in my area unfortunately. Looks like I'm eligible for Comcast black friday deal. RCN offered like $5 discount, so just asked them to cancel

Nah, I think my only option is to switch providers, which means choosing between Comcast & Starry

Interesting. Do they charge for ONT? My current router works fine and supports up to 300 Mbps

Which router are you using? Browsing through black friday deals to see if I can nab a deal on one

Yep, realizing that now. Used to be $30/mo, then 50 and now it looks like they increased the plan by another 20 in the last couple of months. Serves me right for not keeping track of my bills
