I'm glad I ditched Comcast and got fiber internet.
With Cumcast, I had internet and basic cable TV.  Their basic cable TV was crap though - They had me using a cable box that outputted a standard-definition square picture.  I realized I could get a decent over-the-air signal where I was that provided a better-looking picture, and it was widescreen.  I called Comcast to cancel my basic cable TV, but they said my bill would actually increase if I did that.  I think bundle pricing is fairly common with other providers though.

I'm currently using Ziply Fiber (formerly Frontier, until Ziply bought them several months ago - and Fronter bought the fiber from Verizon about 10 years ago).  I've been fairly happy with it, and I like that I get the same speed for both upload and download.
