We were told by Comcast/Xfinity that in order to watch MASN in Baltimore City, we would have to move up to the highest tier, and that, along with our 800MB internet service, would now cost $259.00 per month, which is $79 more than we were paying. I had read in the Banner that it was going to be a $20 increase, so I was floored.
We dropped Xfinity TV, but kept the internet, which the guy on the phone gave us a promotional rate of $45/month. We then added DirecTV streaming, which has MASN & MLB Network, and a ton of other channels we won't watch for $120/month.
So, now we are at $165/month for the 2024 season ($15 less than last year) and way less than what Xfinity quoted us.
And, it's legal and guilt free!
