I switched from Comcast to Frontier fiber a month ago.
I do miss not having cable TV but the fiber service has been rock solid and it was very satisfying to tell Comcast that they'd never see another penny of my money.
Yes, you can subscribe to various services to stream TV over the Internet but they're all way too expensive for how little TV I watch.

To "look at this objectively" you need to be aware of the facts. Someone who receives death threats that force them to move SEVEN TIMES, isn't able to pursue a career and earn a regular living.
Regardless, the issue is that Jones knowingly and intentionally caused them harm. Jones isn't entitled to profit off of it, any more than bank robbers should be able to keep their loot.

Wow. Some of the families (whose children were murdered!) had to move multiple times because Jones’ listeners were making death threats against them, because Jones fed them lies that incited anger.
I can’t imagined why you’re more concerned about Jones’ family than the innocent families that Jones deliberately hurt.

Why? To pick just one example, East Haven, West Haven, and New Haven could merge into a single city without county-level government.

You do realize that these things are not only knowable, but easily knowable, using this thing called the Internet.

This understates the pay ratio since most of the low wage work is outsourced to third party "contractors".

In other words, these 'debts' have already been written off by the healthcare providers. They were then put out on the open market for bottom-feeders to bid for the right to extort payments from people who may or may not actually owe any money.
This is the "greatest country in the world"? Really?

By cancelling cable service, at least I'm not giving a penny to Fox or CNBC.
If Frontier service is bad, at least I'm paying a third of what I was paying Comcast.

I have my Frontier fiber installation scheduled for later this month. I'm positively giddy for my call to cancel Comcast once I know the new setup works.
No matter how many times they rebrand or try to bring people back, they're a shitty company and I'll do my damnedest to never give Comcast another penny.

Most of them. They replace it with nonsense about immortality in some wonderful place that’s totally made-up, where they’ll be reunited with dead friends and family.
