I'm dumping Xfinity high speed internet, I can't afford it anymore...

Any recommendations appreciated!

Thanks

EDIT: Yes, I'm on the internet a lot, so I need a lot of data.

1. Get rid of the cable TV

and get a Roku box,and keep the speed and get more channels.

Is what I did,I hated paying 100 bucks a month to watch 2-3 channels on cable.

3. The complaint is about Internet, not cable.

What you say is true, but I'm not sure it helps the OP.

4. I took it as a money issue,

and I would guess the poster does have cable TV.

But I have been wrong before.

2. My iPhone and iPad are often faster than my high speed Comcast Xfinity thing.

It tests well on speedtest.net, but in practice tethering to one of my mobile 4G devices is faster.

I think they're choking it, they call it "bursts" of speed, the ATT saleman said.

5. I can hardly stream video with my "high speed" comcast connection.

love watchin that little wheel go round and round. Often bad as dialup. Can't wait to dump them.

6. 50 bucks a month on Charter high speed

What are your advertised speeds?

7. they tell me 50 but I'd call it 15

8. The obvious question: What is actually available where you live?

9. Ah, I assumed providers like, say, EarthLink were accessible everywhere...

OK, I'll look in Chicago.
