After waiting 2 hours for service techs to show and nobody coming I decided to cancel cable. The strangest thing happened. They just said ok and cancelled my service, no trying to change my mind by offering crappy incentives or anything like that. I have Hulu, Netflix and Amazon prime, any other suggestions? How do you Internet only folk watch sports?
They do that already. I'll be moving at some point in. The next year most likely, then I'll sever all ties to that shit-stained Comcast.
Honestly I think cable as it stands now is on its way out. Out of the couple hundred channels I had, I watched maybe a half dozen. I assume over the Internet will come a time I can order a la carte. I'm tired of paying for crap I have zero interest in.
This concept has been brought up a lot. I think over heard and read before that it's a certain price for certain channels like espn costing a bunch, while most channels you get are just throw ins. So ala carte seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure it will help your wallet much of you're Still paying $20-30 a month just for espn channels
I get ComCast Bay Area thrown in with the lowest price dish package. Can't get ComCast NW at any price. Why? Because ComCast NW say Dish is unreasonable and won't deal. Enough of you guy cancel ComCast, I imagine a deal would happen real soon.
Good for you. As soon as I get Verizon FIOS in my area, my Comcast internet will be gone. Already shit-canned their cable years ago.
This is true. It always sounds like a good idea, because of the hundreds of channels you don't watch. But ESPN, or whatever, would raise their rate high enough to screw you over.
who really needs espn? if they went away there is more than enough to keep me informed... in fact, i think there are more informed sports people that dont have espn.
So went to a pub for tonight's game and had a blast. Between friend, pubs, family and the occasional live game I'll still get most Blazer games. I'm cheating the system and am using my parents password to get espn live via an app. I think there is one for tnt also. Those added to Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu, and the Internet I have more TV still than I need and I'm saving a good amount. I feel real happy with my decision right now.
