    People need to start pushing for publicly owned infrastructure. It’s a national security issue, not to mention long term investment issue.

    Was a cord cutter until it went from $35 a month to $60-80 a month pre-covid. I switched back to (unfortunately) Comcast in 2019 because it was ultimately cheaper and had more channels. Got cable and internet for $150 a month.

    By the time I cancelled a few months ago, it was up to $225 and I hadn’t changed a thing.

    Back to 🏴‍☠️ and fiber internet.

      Personally, I’d rather cut down on what I sub to than go back to cable. Oh and you can’t take my fiber from my cold dead hands.

    I’m about to cancel comcast. They always find ways to sneakily increase the price. The real issue for me though is it has become so unreliable. I work from home and cannot tolerate the regular outages during business hours.

      I’d google it but most of my outages were related to the god awful modem my service provider included in the plan, I bought my own and issues have reduced drastically.
