Comcast/Xfinity raised my rate when my contract expired. It went to over $300/mth! I called in basically to cancel and they "found" a better deal. $175 for everything. Higher level of internet and every channel. I did sign a 1 year contract. I was considering going back to Dish and just using Comcast for internet. The internet max service was going to be slower, Dish package smaller and the total cost about the same.

At one point, I turned on Sling TV with the highest service for $45/mth. The live TV was not so good. It was mostly a streaming service. Also, I would lose DVR on the local channels. I considered a DVR for the local channels, but again, everything lost the integration.

There is a company that sells a box to integrate all streaming services, DVR for local channels, etc. It was not cheap, something like $200-300 and an ongoing subscription just for the box.
