Can you please give me your opinions on choosing a new cable/phone/internet plan?

Asked by jca (36062points) September 18th, 2017

I’m presently in a contract with Comcast that has ended. Comcast tells me my rate will go up in two months.

I presently pay $184.99 (base price without fees and tax). I have “blast” 200 internet. For cable, I have all kinds of channels, the majority I never watch (sports, premium like HBO, Showtime, etc.). I also have house phone with this plan.

My cost will go up to $216.49 in two months, a $31.50 increase.

Some ideas:

House phone with internet and basic cable will be $137.

Another idea, house phone $44.95 and basic cable $19 = $63.95.

The Comcast rep said I should buy a modem and do internet that way. I thought even with a modem you still need internet from the provider.

I want to keep house phone. I am considering doing a Roku box and I have Amazon Prime and Netflix.

I’m open to any and all ideas, including any not offered by the Comcast rep (as outlined above).

Advice, please. :)
