Holy crap. I had no idea it was $73 a month. I'm a little shocked that is a viable price point.
Is cable cheaper? I haven't used it for 15+ years so I have no comparison.
I currently pay $130 for cable and internet with Verizon (was $115 but they raised it recently). Cable package is comparable to youtube tv and the internet is 90 up/down.
But I'm moving and if I want useful upload speeds from Comcast at the new place I need a package that's something like $200+ per month. I'm going with tmobile internet and YouTube tv since it's about $70 cheaper.
Personally, I'd love to just diitch cable. I only want it for hockey and I can get that with ESPN+ and a VPN. But my wife watches it quite bit. She's got a dozen shows on different cable channels she watches religiously.
Jesus. I pay Comcast $50/month for 800 down/200 up + $10 for unlimited data.
Internet options here are pretty damn bleak. I was counting on at least just moving my fios service but that's a nogo as their service ends in the neighborhood across the street from our new house.
Where? I'm near LA with similar pricing to the guy above you.
Just north of Seattle.
