You still need internet. Who is your internet provider?

I have an Atlantic Broadband package internet/cable/phone and they gouge me for cable for basic channels. Total of $165/month. They told me if I dropped the cable that my cost would still be the same. When my contract is up in August I will research for a phone/internet package elsewhere. Where I live I'm very limited as far as providers. I'm sure I can do better. My cable app at least has unlimited access to almost anything I want to watch wherever I am. I watched the embarassing Pats game the other night from Cuenca, Ecuador (where I am at the moment) in full clarity.

We have Broadband internet only in Meredith, $70 per month. Then we have Amazon Prime, along with Hulu, netflix, and Apple that our kids share with us. It seems to be enough to watch.

Sounds pretty good. My Broadband costs have risen at least 25-30% in a short time when I was told my monthly charges would remain the same for my 2 year contract. When I changed my tv package to less channel options to save $$$ they tell me my contract term starts over. Overall, I don't get it.

I've had internet only since I bought the place 6 years ago. So far they only went up once from $60 to $70.
I hope I didn't just jinx myself!

Wow. You're so lucky. If that was all that happened to me I wouldn't be complaining. The increases for me every 3-6 months have been about $25-30 each time. I had to scale back my tv channels to only local and even that didn't change my costs. Because I'm out of the country for a few months all the services are on hold til I get back and only cost about $16/month till I get back in January.
