They should offer some sort of a la carte plans. I hate their bundles especially when you don't want half the channels.

and, yeah, this year the internet connection has gone down more than usual (once was caused by vandalism).

One thing they've done. I now also get some streaming services free (with ads).... Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, AMC+, Peacock, ViX (a Spanish channel), ESPN (I never ever watch sports), and a few more, maybe they're offering this as an incentive to stay.

I keep meaning to research what it would cost if I gave up cable and just used streaming apps.
