With the move to streaming for TV programing, movies, and everything else cable TV is slowly dying
You won’t get an attractive price for internet only. Those companies spend tons of money on broadcasting licenses, and as long as they do, you’re going to pay part of that bill, whether you have a TV subscription or not.
I had to fight Comcast via a half hour arguing war of attrition on the phone with someone whose accent was impenetrable, but got internet only for $50/mo using a modem I bought on ebay for $30 and a router that cost $10.
Impossible to do on their website.
Never. Carriers and ISPs will never let themselves turn into a metered service. They’ve been fighting for years to charge whatever they want, create overinflated packages and generally keep things the way it was with cable.
You have that in several European countries. I subscribed to only internet service. However , in many European countries the telecoms work as an oligopoly and sometimes as a cartel. And afraid of losing money with the internet only packages, they make it intentionally less appealing because for more 5€ you get all the other services and sometimes with better internet.
Regulators work like crap in my country
Comcast even offered cheaper internet if I bundled with tv. The entire package was cheaper then internet alone.
I still went with internet only, at a monthly price. Comcast is evil and would have found a way to make the bundle cost skyrocket eventually
This is how it works in Canada too, but now there aren’t any Independent ISPs anymore since they all got bought up by the larger Telcos.
Everyone here is negative, but I don’t know why cable didn’t die 25 years ago when Netflix showed up. I certainly have not had any interest in it since then. Then again, I play games far more than I watch movies, so I am not a typical consumer.
