Internet is like $70 a month by itself, just for service.
Fuck the Internet.
Internet prices are only going to get worse as more people try to cut the cord [Reply]

I just signed up with Cox again and they offered me 150mbps for 3 years at $45/month. I'm good with it. And for my streaming, I didn't need any more that 1000 GBs/mo. So I didn't even have to upgrade my internet plan when I went to streaming. [Reply]

Speed isn't the issue I have 275 down for 70 a month, the problem is data caps, I'm way over that number every single month. Even if I went back to cable I'd have to keep the net so it wouldn't make my bill cheaper at all. [Reply]

I pay $60 per month for the exact same service. It normally would cost $85. You got a good deal. I have to call in every year to keep mine where is at. I wish att would offer something comparable to force Cox to lower rates. DSL just can't keep up with cable. [Reply]
I've also recently decided to cut the cord and bought Amazon Firestick. I should say, I'm pleased with it. There is a great amount of Kodi addons like EXODUS. So, now I can watch movies, TV shows, news, etc. without necessary of paying big bills. [Reply]

Just got that email too. I did a quick look into YouTube TV, looks like most of the channels are the same, the ones that are missing I have on another service I use called Philo TV. (which is also a great value FWIW) So my channels would stay virtually the same. However due to my wife watching a few Hulu series we would have to at least maintain the non-live Hulu(we'd just keep the Disney+ bundle w/o live tv) after running the numbers my bill would change by $1 by switching.

Do most of you do the LIVE versions on the streaming services due to sports? That's the only thing keeping me on the live versions of anything. [Reply]

Mostly. I still watch a handful of network shows as well, which I could probably live without but are nice to have. [Reply]

Live versions are fine for sports. I used them before I got my antenna. A few seconds delay, but that's the only issue. [Reply]
It's worth it to me. I put up an antenna, hooked it up to a USB tuner on my PC and bought the lifetime subscription of Plex, so my locals are free. I have Hulu and Spotify bundled for $10/ month. Philo is $20, Disney plus is free because I have Verizon, and I have CBS all access for $6. That's way cheaper than my Dish was. Internet is $50/ month, but I was paying for that anyway, so I don't really factor it in to the cost. [Reply]
I pay 49.99 a month for spectrum internet, my most recent speed test gave me download speed of 236mbps. I’d personally say it’s better than the google fiber and mediacom I’ve had in the past, and defiantly cheaper. [Reply]
I have been using hulu live for a year. With the price hike, I subscribed to youtube tv. I really like youtube better, yet it keeps getting stuck during commercials and have to restart the app. Anyone else have this problem? [Reply]

You shouldn't be having that issue. Reinstall the app.
