I just cut the cable

That's it. I received an email telling me that my internet and tv would be upgraded and I would be paying more for it "promotionally", or I could opt to keep my plan, but oy vey, the price would be the same because it was not "promotional". Then I took a look on the concurrency, signed a "promotional" internet only plan and cancelled my bundle. Now I'm paying "promotionally" way less than I was, my internet is faster and I have one year until they try to fuck me again and I have to change company again.

Honestly, not a minute too soon. There's nothing to see on tv and the only function of a telephone line is being constantly annoyed by telemarketing call bots.

DSL to 24 Mbps

Another thing they do is pushing speeds you don't need. My connection was 100Mbps, they wanted to upgrade it to 300. Why the fuck would I need this? The current connection is 120Mbps, and I only took this because the price of the inferior plan was almost the same, and this gives me some reserve for speed variations.

6 Mbps streams 1080p smoothly. 18 Mbps streams 4k smoothly. Cable companies sell a dream of being better by going to faster speeds, which are beneficial if you have multiple people all using a lot of bandwidth simultaneously. That's the only sensible use case for higher Internet speeds.
