Don't get comcast xfinity. For 4 boxes (although one is supposed to be free), I'm paying 210 a month.

I cut the cord a couple of years ago and saving plenty of money by using Roku.  It depends on what you like to watch so Google and get something that works for you.

The answer is extremely regional by definition, so I am afraid you need to research it locally. If you lived in Portland Oregon I would suggest what we have, which is 1Gb Ziply Fiber for $60 a month, but it's not available everywhere.

If you have a cable company that offers fiber optics thats probably the best way to go. Less hassle less issues better quality connections

I have Verizon Fios which is quite reliable with good customer service. I don't know if they are the cheapest though.

Not sure which one is the best.  But would be best if you did some research to see which is the best one to choose for you.

Ours is high here too. I have Dish Network bundled with my internet company and we are paying close to $300.00 a month.

Do Microsoft Rewards every Day and get a GC for Hulu makes a free viewing service, and you can even upgrade to commercial free pay only the difference!!

I have tried Direct and Disc.  They are both good to begin with because they offer a special package price.  Then they slowly start going up and up.  Like everyone else says it depends on your area.  I'm in North Carolina and I have Spectrum.

I don't have any great suggestions because most of them aren't worth the money you pay for them.

I haven't paid cable since 2017, try getting an Amazon firestick from Best Buy or online.

Exactly; they start low then increase monthly.  But Comcast is better than Time Warner in my area. 

Don't get comcast xfinity. For 4 boxes (although one is supposed to be free), I'm paying 210 a month.

Google companies in your area and look up all the quotes for each company and ask about first time customer discounts when you call.  If you don't ask they sometimes won't offer.

Ok, thanks for all the suggestions and feedback....keep them coming!
