Still cheaper than cable, people saying it isn't are delusional. Cable is 2x as much when you factor in the cable boxes and fees they add on.
Exactly! I just talked with a friend today who still refuses to ditch Comcast. He told me the "fees" (which I also had before I ditched them) now total over $60! I've offered to split YTTV with him but he refuses to do it lol

Heh... my ISP told me the good news that my internet speed and data cap are going up! :)
But then mention they're also going to add +$10/mo to my bill :(

They find all sorts of creative ways to raise prices on you :|
That's what RCN used to do years ago:

1. I'm already good with my current speed
2. I never get what you already say I should be getting

United States

The number of U.S. cable subscribers, while still in the tens of millions, is declining and companies like Comcast need to find ways to keep revenues up. Diehard subscribers will be willing to pay the higher costs/fees but others will start to choose alternatives like YouTube TV, Sling, etc. or go with no live TV at all.
