ridiculous. so i'm still getting 118mbps down/12mbps up and i'm paying $80 less per month.
wtf comcast. this is why no one likes your shitty TV product.
here are some of the bullshite 'fees' that went away
- $10/mo DVR fee
- $10/mo "HD" fee
- $4/mo "local sports" fee WTF
- $8/mo "local stations" fee
- $15/mo in made-up taxes
again i had "special promo" to get tv/internet for $89/mo but its swelled to north of $135 every month by the time they added all that horeshit to it.
the $55 is also a '12 mo promo' but the CS rep *ASSURED* me i could call back in 12 months and they would extend it

meanwhile I cut the cord 2 years ago and my internet bill 'mysteriously' gets bumped up $5 every few months.

Is this a fee or a package? If it's package I'm assuming it's regional channels like Fox Sports. If it's a fee then Comcast probably has their own regional channel and is forcing everyone to pay for it.

Unfortunately it looks like that legacy is starting to creep over to the TV streaming services aimed at cord cutters. AT&T is going to charge for DirecTV Now's DVR function. Hulu Live gives you a Lite version of the DVR free and for a hefty $15 a month you go from 50 hours to 200 hours and the ability to fast forward through commercials. Hulu also charges you $15 a month to go from 2 streams to unlimited in home and 3 on the go.
For now PlayStation Vue seems to be the service to get to avoid extra fees for adequate streams and DVR, but with their recent price increases they also are charging more up front.

I forgot to do the Sirius 6 month promotion song and dance and noticed they hit me for $111 from $34.
Called and screamed and it was back to $34.
I'm due for them to jack my Cox bill. Last time, it was cheaper to have basic cable and internet than internet only. Not sure I even had the cable box turned on more than once or twice in the last year.

These one makes no sense. Wtf Cable Companies?

This is a perfect example of why cable is dying. The customers have to subsidize cable networks for professional Basketball/baseball teams. These networks should be premium like HBO and Showtime (but they aren't because most pro teams wouldn't survive that way).
