So finally about to make the leap and cut the cable bill. I'll be using Comcast for my internet. I have 2 questions for all of you official cable cutters out there.
1. Do I need to keep any equipment from Comcast to use the internet? I feel like I could just get a wireless router that has a cable plug in the back but want to make sure that would work. I've always had a double play package so everything has always been linked to the cable box... Obviously avoiding a $8/month rental fee would be nice.
2. What internet speed package would you recommend? I'm leaning towards the 25mbs package since the lower packages are so... slow. I'd mostly be using the internet for browsing and up to 2 netflix streamings at a time. I have access to some Apple TV stuff to live stream a few channels too.
I'll be canceling the cable in my name and then my roommate will be signing up as a "new customer" once we move to our new place. That way we can get the better deals for at least a year.
