2 weeks ago I was about to sign up for Xfinity cable and internet. At the end of long phone call with a data center rep where I carefully chose every package that I thought I would need, (for a total cost of ~90 $ before tax), the rep informed me that there was a 9 dollar "broadcat TV fee" and a 6 dollar "live sports fee" that were applied to every single cable package offered (but not mentioned in any of promo ads. I was so disgusted I cancelled right then and there. Oh, and that 90$ was a teaser fee with a 1 year contract (I've had a contract with direcTV but never cable). The entire experience was so dishonest that I didn't care if they were offering the best price (they weren't).
Over the next week I demoed slingTV and the streaming direcTV service before setting on youtubeTV. Never going back.
