I had a [censored] match today with my cable provider. My bill went up this month to $145 and change from $123 something. I called and threatened to cancel and the wouldn't budge on the price, so I called Fios and spoke to them. Fios Internet and phone is available in my area but tv would have to be provided through DirectTV. Total bill would be $118 on one bill for both services. I like my cable company I've had them since i was a kid but is it really worth that much more. I also have concerns about satellite television during storms they say ther 99% reliable to cable being 92% but in 25 years of cable I've only lost tv when the power goes out. It's never been an issue ever. With DirectTV if I should want to cancel they will charge me $20 a month for the remainder of the two years I have to sign up for. At least with cable there's no cancelation fee. In my area we have optimum for cable. Any input and experience would help. Thank you
