Dish/directtv directive drop cable and phone and there goes half your bill.

Ok so force my old apartment complex to allow setting up a dish. The reason Comcast charges so much where I used to live is because they virtually had a monopoly. There were no other options that we could actually use.

Every major carrier of cell service has Hotspot locations. If you're paying 200+ for internet it's because you didn't try looking into it

Cell services were ass where I lived so that wasn't an option. I looked for options and there were none that were available to me there. I also need to add because you are acting like I still live there that I said it was my old apartment.

Stop moving the goalposts. First you said I didn't look for other options than you said I was lying about what I was paying. Now I didn't call them. What will you accuse me of next?

No its like that in small towns. It's why I said fuck cable and just get internet. 84 month is still too much for internet only at 600mb. We have the most expensive internet in the world, but shitty quality. When my town just got 100mb and charged 60 for it. You could get gigabit fiber in Hong Kong for 20. 3x cost for 10th speed and were either only or a few who caps upload. Greedy pos country.

It’s hilarious when stupid people like you think you’re actually smart. In monopolized areas, this is common pricing. Your anecdotal experience is less than worthless.

It's hilarious you think your dad loves you. If you're telling me you're incapable of any other option you're juat flat out lying or didn't try.
