Cable competition
Great news! My town if finally getting a second cable provider. Currently, Comcast is the only game in town. However, Verizon and the town just signed a contract to allow their entry sometime later this year. The upshot of this is big savings for everybody. Towns with more than one cable provider generally have rates up to 20 % lower than single provider towns. I plan on taking full advantage of this as my cable bill (tv, Internet, and digital phone) is huge. I pay over $200 a month and hope to trim at least $40 off of this. I will look at Verizon's rates and then go to Comcast and see what they plan to do to retain this customer. Either way it is a win for the pocket book. Any savings that I get from this I plan to earmark for the kids 529 plans. The good old capitalist system at work.
