I get something like $65 discount on Internet connectivity due to "triple play", if I turn off TV and phone I end up paying the same amount for the same speed. Optimum/Cablevision have a "cord cutters" package that is just another first 2-year gimmick package and aside of now charging for modem rental the pricing structure is more than double the price of Internet under "triple play".

Dish has stepped up to the plate to fix the US's hosed up anti-loyality pricing scheme with the monthly charge including taxes and being fixed, however they're only targeting DirectTV in their advertising and should also hit out at the cable companies. Shame they only do TV :(

Dish has their Sling TV service or whatever, but it seems pretty cool.
it's like a $20/month service and you get to stream a handful of channels like espn through your existing internet service

i guess it doesn't fix loyalty pricing because you still have to pay comcast for internet, but cool nonetheless

there are currently some promotions where this is true

right now 100 Mbps/internet + basic TV is $65/month in my area but I just cancelled standalone 75 Mbps Internet for $75/month because various promotions from the double play package were expiring

im on Comcast for a few weeks and then I'm gonna switch back to Verizon as a new customer

gotta play a dance every year or two to not pay $120+/month for loving internet access

when i was on comcast, the local sales rep would just call me on the phone every 12 months and offer me a new promo deal
