Comcast OVERPRICED! Internet, Internet
In Portland OR area its $66 for an entry level package eligible for HD, a $10 HD access charge, plus taxes = an 80 dollar plus bill every month and thats for only 1 TV! I encourage all of you to cut the cable/dish cord as I have.
One easy, cost effective way (esp. if you live in a metropolitan area) is to buy a Mohu Leaf antenna (read the great reviews) and a Roku or Tivo Box(or any other streaming box if you dont have apps on your TV). Both Roku (no monthly fee) and Tivo give you access to a very large amount of streaming content, i.e. Amazon, Blockbuster, Hulu Plus, Netflix etc.
The Tivo box enables you to record all the FREE content you get OTA with an antenna. There is a $20 a month fee for a Tivo box (a good interface with lots of features), but its far, far cheaper than cable/dish.
The best way to stop the Comcast monopoly is to stop using them. With all the technology available, there are several easy, viable, money saving alternatives.
