If I do not go with the $127 for cable TV and internet,
I'll have to pay $99 a month just for the internet.

I've been paying $97 for both.

They offered me lower internet and the most basic cable (local channels, which is what I now have)
for $100 if I commit to 2 years. $250 penalty for early termination.

I could switch to Centurylink,
but I'd have to pay for a phone line at $40 a month plus $$ for the internet,
but I do not need/use a landline.

An inexpensive DSL connection and minimum Netflix subscription works for us. hunter Aug 2018 #15

For a DSL connection I'd need a phone line left-of-center2012 Aug 2018 #16

Not here in California. There's no phone service required if you can find a local provider. hunter Aug 2018 #17

Yes, things are different in CA left-of-center2012 Aug 2018 #18
