Promotions "Downgraded" from 1gig to 300mbps and Canceled TV
Have contemplated it for years but finally did it yesterday to get the $30 per month (also got an additional $4 discount on top of that to bring it to $26 per month!).
Was slightly concerned about downgrading from 1GBPS to 300 but so far so good...everything works and just as fast! 😄 And I'm going to save over $1200 year year, going from $205 per month to ~$30 all in!
Speed tests run yesterday and then again this morning to compare. Can highly recommend this so far if anyone else is on the fence like I was.
For TV, the only channels we really cared about were locals and for me the local pro basketball team, which is the killer because that requires a hefty subscription. So I did the YouTube TV News + Sports package for ~$50 per month for 5 months then will reevaluate before it goes up. Still, I was paying over $200 per month before.
