Hi guys i have Verizon DSL broadband 3.0 bts download .700 upload and my bill is 90bucks,
i was thinking of changing to Com Cast they offer 25bts INTERNET and phone for 50bucks for 12 month
and say after the 12 moth bill will be 75bucks but i fear that in the end with all the hidden fees and charges it will be more than i pay now for Verizon.Any advice please i live in Massachusetts.

Even if it ended up costing more, it would be worth it to get away from 3 mbit.

The fees aren't that substantial, though.

You say 90 bucks but you don't break it down into phone and internet prices. Also depends on what calling plan you have. You may be paying 30 for internet and 55 for pbone and then plus taxes. 3mb is slow. I would suggest maybe getting comcast for faster internet and then possibly getting voip service like magic jack or vonage. Do you already have comcast tv? If you bundle 2 or more services, you get a better deal.

a total of ......................74.99

Government taxes............2.83

Verizon Subcharges /fees..14.86

$30 for only 3 megabit download is terrible. Again, if you have comcast already for TV service then I would suggest getting their internet and telephone service and bundle to save money.
