Our journey started with a package with Metrocast, cost a little over $100. Slowly but surely, the price went up. We had extended basic, standard internet, and phone in a package. Package got up to nearly $190 when TDS came into Alton with their fiber service. We signed on for TV / internet/ phone for $120 something, saving about $55 per month, rate guaranteed for 2 yrs.
After 2 years, our monthly bill started to climb and in just over a year, we were up to about $180. Decided to scale back to internet only. Internet cost would have gone to $79, and a huge charge one time to set up a new account number (they are a telephone company that does internet & TV, phone # is account#) . I asked how much to cancel everything, they said $24.95. I said make that effective Friday!
Went back to (now) Atlantic Broadband for $50 and Youtubetv for $50. Also picked up two Rokus and life is good. We have signed into other streaming channels like PBS, Animal Channel, etc.
Lots of sports and old movies. Life is good at half the price.
