      They might. I'm still with Xfinity, and my bill went up over $24 dollars this month. WTF, Xfinity! I am so over these internet companies. False promises and slum providers. Sorry for the rant. It's bogus, to be honest, with everything else going up.

    • @philipem1000
      @philipem1000 3 месяца назад

      I am locked in at $50 but I left cable because they kept raising the price -- $100 and the service was lousy. I was on the phone at least once a month, my service would cut off at night without announcement even though I could tell they were doing planned maintenance. I have had no more than ten minutes of outage with TMobile in over a year; I stream a lot using about 750 GB per month. Oh, I keep my eyes open for better deals but the worst you can say about TMobile is that they might raise prices LIKE ALL THE OTHERS DO.

    Thanks 😊 I find that T mobile internet
    upon searching for availability says it
    is not available hear in my area of
    New Hampshire, and a zip code in NY
    where we used to live is also listed as
    not available.
    However, I saw comments that some
    people said they were told this too in
    their area, but they did obtain it from
    T Mobile and it worked anyway.
    And these areas I tried here in NH and
    NY are not rural areas. 😊

    I made a big T-Mobile home Internet change about three weeks ago. I canceled and had my cable company provide Internet service. Thirty years ago I vowed that I would never give my cable company another nickel, but T-Mobile made me hate them more than I hate the cable company.
    Before canceling, I called T-Mobile to complain that, though Internet things were fine at 5 a.m., Internet was next to impossible at 5 p.m. After I complained, things were better for about a week...and then it was back to throttle city. The cable installer told me that everyone tells him the same thing.
    Good luck, T-Mobile users.

      If you have cell plans and have had them for some time, you have some advantage when protesting increases. Leaving the service means dropping all services, and they don't want that en masse.

    Yeah, I "hem hawed" around and decided to sign up one day after the price increase! (Plus, if I read things correctly, there are now data caps of 1.2 tb(?) monthly!) Oh well, its still cheaper than what I am paying for my current service, ( over half the price...for now!), and without all the boxes, wires, and remotes, if it works like its supposed to!

    If by "big changes" it included having a cell tower closer to us (and by "us" I mean 1,000+ new-ish homes and some apartments), then it would be a consideration. Until then, we're stuck with two fiber companies who have colluded on pricing of their 300/500/1000 Mbps plans.

    What makes it worse is my state just gave Spectrum 28mil in grant money to add internet to this area and we live 1.8miles from where Spectrum has other lines. But they say we are to far for them to make our area serviceable 🤦‍♂️
