Hundreds of thousands of households across the country have seen their prices increase by as much as $6 a month, and that’s just for programming. Comparing package for package, DISH Network simply costs less:
Comcast would have you believe that by bundling phone, internet and television services you can save money, but you’d spend an of $130 a month for all three services and as much as $65.45 for television alone.
