    Default Damm Comcast announced they are going up in January and it;s nothing I can do about i

    Comcast sent a letter stating due to increased business costs, they will have to raise the price for all services starting in January of 2016 which will make the bill higher than it already is now.

    Internet, sports package, and cable package is rising and I know I can't cancel because once I get home how will I be entertained?

    SMH, only possible solutions below

    1. Eat Out Less

    2. Date someone I'm not attracted to

    3. Get a second job

    4. Find another internet provider that is not wireless


    Pisses me off there is no other option for me that is cheaper because Comcast controls this area so they have me by the balls.

    If you have to cut costs simply to keep cable in your budget, you may have bigger problems than merely how to get entertainment..

    You can get sporting events by live streams.

    The reason why Netflix is useless to me is because I like to watch TV in bed before I go to sleep. And N@N is not on netflix.

    Sling tv for 20 bucks...netflix for 10. 60 bucks a year for ballstreams. HDMI out to your tv. You wont miss a single sport or show you care about.

    I remember when twc 3 service package got to $200 after taxes... that's where I drew the line. Got a streaming box for my parents which was a 1 time fee and cut the cord on the TV. Does it suck when I wanna watch an NBA game in HD? Yeah. But I'm happy dropping only 50 a month nowadays. If you go to the reddit nbastreams, you can find HD links.

    Also, I download all my shows and watch them on TV. Is it convenient? Not at all but I'm not lazy.

    Prioritize.

    Funny that i can watch a old game on the computer but not a live game. For live games I prefer the TV of course, bigger screen

    Learn how to setup a Slingbox, you can access your cable package anywhere in the world, or split the cost with another.

    Internet & TV (for a bigger screen) is all you need. Link your laptop/PC to your HDTV if you feel like watching a movie on Netflix & that's it. And for shows or movies that aren't on Netflix. Project Free TV or movie4k should do it. The only thing you're paying for in cable is the f*cking commercials, not only you're paying for it, it also ruins your experience by potentially killing the suspense.

    Yeah, no thanks.

    Not sure if serious, but of course.

    Link your laptop to your TV and live on 'extended display'.

    well I am asking because it would be all new.
