Internet and TV providers

[KCrockaholic]

So I'm switching from Xfinity to something else, but looking to get a deal of around $100 per month for Internet and TV. ATT had me on the hook for $84 per month, then suddenly, bam, a page pops up saying I'd have to pay a "Uverse security fee" of $449.

****ing kidding me? I'm looking for a decent deal, who is the best company to go with, or who should I avoid?

That is what I was thinking. Is your credit pretty bad?

Is that for TV only, or Internet, too?

Internet too. One of their better internet services.

I think you guys are right about that. It's not that my credit is bad so to speak, it's that I don't have any credit in the first place. Credit cards scare me.

It was just strange considering I never had a problem with other companies needing a security fee.
