I fired cable once in the past, and picked up satellite. When issue arose from it, we dumped it in favor of internet only...but Verizon and I disagreed on the quality of their signal in my home, and the fact that they were absolutely throttling my service. So, I fired them and went to Xfinity. Sure, I pay more, but I'm disabled and spend most of my days in front of the talking picture box, watching all sorts of things. For 150mps speed, checked regularly to make sure there's no throttling, and the Xfinity system in the house, plus phone, I'm paying in the area of $185 per month. I was going to dump it after the first of the year, but my wife decided that after two days without it, I was driving her nuts...so she made the decision that I need it. Hey...as long as she's fine with the expense and it doesn't hurt the monthly budget, I'm fine.
