Please Seattle, please Seattle.

I'd happily take the cancellation fee to do anything other than Comcast.

Comcast/Verizon/et.al are going to find some way to sue about this. Can't disrupt the incredibly shitty duopoly we have going!

So that's what he meant...

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Without ESPN networks on that list, this would be a no-go for me.

Also no AMC Networks. No Mad Men or Walking Dead. No BBC America or Fox Soccer. No FX, TNT, or Turner Classic Movies.

Seems to me like the exact opposite of what an overbuilder needs to do: provide a superior product with more options that appeals to those who wouldn't be satisfied with generic cable.

Also, I'd cheerfully trade my 12/2 $50/month internet for $0 5/1, but I have never felt at all limited in bandwidth and just don't get why I would care about 1gb.

Also no Disney. Big one for anyone with kids.

Calling Comcast and telling them to stuff their shitty overpriced services up their ass would make my decade. DO WANT.

I'm sure Jackson, MS will be last on the fucking list, but THIS. I would gladly take even the free package over fucking Comcast just to spit in Comcast's eye.

Sounds like a great plan for me, since I don't watch TV anyway. Also I live in Mt. View, come on Google, test it at home first!

I just now, canceled my TV service for Cox communications. Saving 60$ a month!

I could possibly be interested in this Google thing.

I would kill for a more a-la-carte options and get rid of DirecTV (though I've not had a single problem with them), but NFL, HBO, AMC... those are all channels I pretty much ONLY watch.

Internet however....
