you can explore other options by switching plans, adding more channels, and checking if prices adjust. consider contacting your provider to discuss alternatives or better deals.

It's about stopping service. Contact Comcast and reach out to the Retention Team. Compare options beforehand.

You’re struggling to get anything done. You have to accept what they demand or accept less. Comcast speeds range from 5 Mbps up to 45 Mbps (only gigabit), locally it’s about 10 Mbps. My best suggestion is to reduce services. We previously had Comcast Internet, Phone, and TV. Now we’re just getting internet. We pay $103 a month for a 150/10 plan; we do get access to Comcast streaming, but it offers only around 10 channels and HBO. Luckily we have FIOS, though AT&T won’t upgrade due to the Detroit Metro Airport issue. We have no other providers, and without AT&T Fiber or FIOS in our area, we’re stuck with a 1 TB monthly data cap.

We reside in a Pa Comcast area where 60% of downloads are 100 Mbps, while Verizon offers 40% with a cost of $150. My dad attempts to switch TVs but can’t because prices have risen.

I'm handling the broadcast TV cost, sports charge, box fees, router rental, plus all the extra things they add. I'll skip TV and phone and stick to internet-only, using streaming instead.

Verizon will return to you, just like Comcast did when we gave up TV service. Be aware, though—Comcast may charge you extra fees too. My family has been with them for more than ten years. You’re probably lucky since PA is Comcast’s base, so there are no data limits.

We should definitely have at least a phone. Switching to VoIP could save us money, and skipping a full cellphone wouldn’t work for my family. I prefer a home phone instead of just making calls. Also, I need advice on getting a good modem for Comcast so we can keep using our own router.

We havent had home phone in like 8 years at my house. Cell phones work fine for us. I cant say for VoIP, never used any service. Comcast digital voice worked well enough when we had it, but if you do voice on Comcast, they make it a lot harder to buy a modem, because you need an eMTA which does Internet and voice. If you choose to use Comcast's gateway your looking at $13-15 a month in rental fees. Comcast has very few retail eMTA's that they will allow on their network. If you dont get one from the list you might find that they will refuse to provision voice services. They are bastards after all. As far as modems go for Comcast. Stay away from any modems with the Intel Puma 6 chip. That would be like all the 32x8 Docsis 3.0 modems, dont use them. Id go for a Docsis 16x4 or 24x8 modem if doing Docsis 3.0, if you choose to say FUCK IT and do Docsis 3.1, then any of those modems will work. Of course you will have to find one with Digital voice capabilities if you choose Comcast phone service.
