Peacock rates going up

[Scott Greczkowski]

Once WWE is gone from Peacock, I will cancel it as well.

Then chances are good that much like Disney+ and Paramount+ I will let them build up their content and when the time is right, subscribe to them again for a month and watch what I missed then cancel again. No reason to keep paying if there is no new content I want to watch.

I think they mean the services merging, not Viacom and Comcast. A quick look online, however, implies it isn't even a "rumor" at this point. Just blogs trying to come up with something to publish about.

Just a rumor

He "thinks" it will happen. No news reported in that video.

That's why I called it a rumour

That's the way to do it.

So am I saving even more money each time they raise rates by never subscribing in the first place?

Sadly, the $60 rebate I got through Sams for the annual sub last year seems to be gone. We actually get NBC OTA, so I am not sure why I would keep Peacock unless they offer me a sweetheart deal to renew. I will probably let it lapse to see if they do offer any discounted renewal.

darn it!

Why, not all Comcast Broadband Subscribers receive it for free, that was changed about two years ago.

And who wants to deal with Comcast?

Who wants to waste time with sports? A lot fewer than some here think.

And that is where I like that Peacock is supposed to be creating a new, lower priced package, that doesn't contain the sports - trying to hit the most people as possible. I don't currently see it on the Peacock site, but I know it was talked about.

I do! I ha e two options for wired internet at my home, Comcast and AT&T. AT&T is DSL and has a high download of 1.5 Mbs, yes 1.5 Mbs. I have 1 gig from Comcast for about 1/3 more dollars a month. Easy choice. I have very little outage. I have had Gateway issues and brought it to my local Comcast store, 5 minutes away, and they replaced it on the spot. I also have Comcast Mobile. Talk and text is unlimited and the wife and I share 1 gig of data a month. We do most of our data at home on wifi and in the years I have had Comcast Mobile I have never gone over that 1 Gig limit. The cost for the two of us combined is $25 a month.

Agreed! Comcast is my only wired option. I don't consider DSL a viable option. In almost 11 years they have been very reliable for me.
