nope. $5/mo cheaper for double the internet speed and "free" cable TV. Comcast is desperate to get their subscriber numbers up.

But with Comcast, I would also pay each month.

$50 - 5 extra set top boxes $10 - "HD Technology Fee" $5 - "Broadcast Access Fee" $5 - "Regional Sports Fee"

That's $70/month in fees.

I pay:

$10 - Netflix - I would have this anyway.

$19 - Sling ($30 normally. I get a $5 discount through TMobile and a $5 discount for being on the Orange Beta)

$11.99 - Netflix no commercials

$6 - CBS all access

I also have Amazon Prime. I probably would have that anyway but I do have Amazon Prime Video. Let's say it's worth $5.00 a month.

I pay less for all of the subscriptions services than I would just in fees for Comcast. On top of that, they are a lot less of a hassle to cancel.
