    They can reduce the price as much as they want, but I still won’t pay for it until they get rid of the DRM.

      There’s something nostalgically comforting seeing comcast screwing people over with bundles again…

    Remember when TV used to be free, except that you had to watch commercials? I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials. What’s wrong with this picture?

      Wait. You’re paying $230+ per month for internet and tv? Even if I was currently living in Western Europe, a fully maxed out package there wouldn’t cost half of that and that’s without the time gated discounts.
      (For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)

        It’s $210 a month plus $30 in taxes and fees for 400 mbit internet with a 1.2 TB usage cap and a mid-tier programming package renting one cable box (required) and one cablecard for the Tivo box. Some months I exceed my internet cap and have to pay $10 for every 50 GB over the limit. Welcome to California living.

        In the US, I pay $90/month ($1,080/year) for 1 Gbps internet.

        That’s it. No TV. No landline. Just Internet.

      I’m not sure but have you tried adjusting your antenna? jk

      I finally gave up on tv a few years ago and now Amazon and Hulu are rocking ads and I don’t know what steps to take. For the most part I’m just torrenting the shows I want now but it’s rather inconvenient.
