Question

We have the triple play with Comcast/xfinity costing us $176. 00 per month. Is that similar to what you pay, looking for more affordable options out there. Any thoughts?  

Answer 1

Are you on a contract with them? I just contacted them last month and our contract was up at the end of this month and we lowered ours to $129 including taxes. Plus we got faster internet now.

@trahern for triple play?  

---

@trahern were paying over 200$ for the same stuff.  

---

@trahern that is very low for land line, internet and cable tv, wish I knew how to get all that for $129. 00.

@sternberg if you call their retention department they will help lower your rates.  

Answer 2

YouTube tv. 49. 99 a month. Philo about 22. 00 a month

Answer 3

We pay $54 for Direct Tv and Internet. Internet is free for life because I have cell service thru Att.  

Answer 4

I went to att for Wi-Fi and cable. 140. And got 300 in Visa cards. I also have them for cell service. My family hates the slower internet( there might be a faster one for a price) and out tv often hesitated during a program. But had to find somewhere to cut my expenses so for now this works. Often time if you tell Comcast you want to leave they will work out a discounted deal. Once I left I even had Comcast come to my door to try to get Me back.

@lael5 thank you for the info I have to consider other options

Answer 5

I was looking at the exact same thing yesterday. Check out sling tv, if you keep your internet you can buy a roku and stream sling to your tv (you can omit buying a roku if you have a smart tv) sling packages range from $25-$45/month

Answer 6

Had comcast too went to att because we have cell with but can't wait to go back to Xfinity for cable and wifi . Att wifi is super slow even with there suppose to be fast and there wifi reception in house is worse have to get boosters for basement and 2nd floor. Never an issue with Xfinity on range. also att cable remote does not work through a wall for example if you put all your equipment in a closet and have door closed att remote won't work and Xfinity did  

Answer 7

The bill is $178. Not sure if there are added taxes for the February bill

Answer 8

Comments

@radie me too ugh  

---

@radie we do too

Answer 9

I have At&t and pay 140 for just internet and cable

Answer 10

We have triple play and pay more. We do have the premium channels though. It cost even more before. We told them after the trial period that we were going to cut down to the basic package and they lowered our price. Also switched from AT&T to Xfinity for our mobile phone. Pay by the gig and saved about $80 a month.  

Answer 11

I was paying $275 for the triple play and had enough. So I went with Sling TV and internet through Comcast and my monthly is $79. 99.

@troy521 we are currently in the same boat and are planning to do the same thing. Besides the money saving, how’s this working for you?  

---

@apoenzyme not to bad, sometimes the signal blacks out due to the app. I had to make improvements to the WiFi signal for the apps to stream. There is no better signal then a hard wired signal through the Ethernet port.  

---

@apoenzyme I just bought a Roku and I’m going to get a Hulu account

@aggiornamento your better off with an Amazon fire stick.  

Answer 12

What ever happened to 2 5 7 and 9

Answer 13

Hi there we used to have Ixfinity but bills kept getting crazy high. we switched to AT&T 9 YEARS ago. pay $170. 00 for phone cable and internet.  

Answer 14

We have same and pay same price.  

Answer 15

We use Comcast for internet only. I got rid of their cable, and got Hulu Live which is much cheaper

Answer 16

I have triple play as well with premium channels; just called Xfinity and had my bill cut by 1/3 by trimming down the cable package-won’t really miss the channels I won’t get. Didn’t watch them anyway

Answer 17

I have the HDTV antenna hooked up and get basic channels like cbs, nbc, abc, wgn, Fox, and then a bunch of other ones like ion cwtv, etc. it’s free. I also have Netflix and amazon prime tv. Got rid of cable in 2005 and haven’t looked back.  

Answer 18

My Xfinity bill went up to 235. 00 and I don’t even have HBO or Showtime. I called and said I need to lower my bill or I’ll have to go elsewhere. They said unless you drop to a different package with less channels there’s nothing they could do. There’s no promotions at this time. Screw Xfinity. I’m done. A loyal customer getting screwed again.  

Comments

@stenographer875 we got that too so we cut the cable down to basic

---

@conant836 ya, and I’m sure it’ll be all the “FIVE” channels I like and my husband is a big flipper, so I’m sure there’ll be a bunch of what he likes.  ugh.  

Answer 19

ATT basic internet $60. Netflix $13. Satisfaction Of not giving Comcast any money, priceless.  

Comments

@moldy7 Exactly. I had AT&T until Comcast came and knocked on my door. Then we switched and now they got out of whack with their prices, so it’s time to switch back to AT&T.  

Answer 20

Sling. 25 bucks a month.  

Answer 21

For those of you wondering why your bill is higher now, Comcast and a few other ISP increased their prices in December. Just about every TV and Internet plan (excluding the Gigabit Pro plan) saw a $1, $5, or $10 increase. Not really sure what the reason 8a for the increase but I heard it has something to do with higher costing programing.  

Answer 22

Hm just internet at 29. 99, 30mbps is just fine. Maybe 50 or 75mbps would be nice but not worth the cost we think

Answer 23

YIKES! I just pay for AT&T Internet ($30/mo) and Netflix ($8. 99), Hulu ($1. 99) -- Those streaming services and antenna TV have all I need at a much cheaper price!  

Answer 24

Right now Comcast has the market cornered because of their programming aimed at sports fans. If I could find an internet hub that carried all of the ESPN Channels, Red Zone and Center Ice, etc. I would move in a second.

@champion R. Lombardi Tried SlingTV? They carry all the sports channels. Easy to sign per month. I use it A couple times a year to catch playoffs.
