People can save even more if they drop live TV. You could get on demand TV services for between $35 and $50 a month. If you don’t watch much live TV, it can be a good option or you can just cut out the expensive sports packages and still watch live TV. The whole point of cutting cable is to save money and if you’re spending more on streaming TV than you did on cable, switching isn’t worth it. Watch your viewing and your spending habits.

The biggest plus for me ditching Direct tv was the capability to decide for myself what channels/services I use. The tv delivery services business model of collecting money to add channels to their packages has never matched my needs. At least with streaming you have options and can manage your expense. The TV service model is dying because people no longer want to pay for 15 shopping channels or music channels or ..... at least I am in control and to me that is the biggest advantage to streaming

@tdfsu1 3 года назад

The problem with your math is that most people have Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, etc... when they have cable. So their price with cable would actually be your $100 PLUS the price of the above services you listed. When I dropped Comcast and kept internet I picked up Philo plus an antenna for locals. My net savings per month was $95. During football and basketball season I picked up Sling Orange with the sports pack and lifestyle pack (Hallmark for the wife). My savings at that point was still $70/month. At the end of March when basketball season is over I will drop Sling and go back to Philo until Labor Day when football returns. The savings are real for many people when they drop cable. I don’t include Netflix, Hulu, or Disney + because I was already paying for those when I had Comcast cable tv.

@kentao4 2 года назад

We just bought a house and I’m cutting wherever I can. We just got fios internet for 85 per month (1gb up and down) and Hulu (55 for 3 mos then 65). I have had RU-vid premium for a long time so I’m keeping that at 17 a month. With fios, The router and extender are included free. In fact it was more expensive to go down to the next plan of 400 mbps because router was not included. I tried RU-vid tv, but with a surround sound setup, the sound was not good- didn’t even support 5.1. Hulu sounds much better and has a very clear picture. We got all of the channels we were looking for except one. And the only premium channel we might pay for during a specific show is hbo for 15 and since my sisters’ families want to watch it as well, we will split that cost. We will see how it works out long term! Fios tv is just too expensive to get the channels you want. Xfinity pricing is better but it goes up and it’s under contract. It also only has fast download speeds. Crossing my fingers!

Hard to say since it varies by region. Where I live there's only one choice, but some places have the option of from a cable company (Comcast) or major phone company (AT&T). If there's a choice ask neighbors on Nextdoor or Facebook which performs best for a good price

@geraldlawson1011 3 года назад

I understand but most subscribers were paying more than 100.00 and the cost for cable or satellite was increasing. Currently I have RU-vid TV and few other streaming services but like you said those services were purchased temporarily and I canceled some of my streaming services. The good news is you can subscribe for a short period and cancel the streaming services anytime unlike cable or satellite 📡 services. So that 100.00 plus was spent just for few months compared to having cable or satellite for a long period of time.

One big difference is the streaming has no ads. I'd rather pay 106 with no ads than 100 with ads. But we currently have the hulu bundle (no ads $20) & prime video (however you figure that out by being a prime member). Got rid of nflx 6 months ago & surprised at how much our family of 5 don't miss it

No ads if you have a DVR. It buffers live TV so you can skip commercials or fast-forward thru when recorded (and Tivo has the new "SKIP" feature).

With the new $65 cost, google includes sport package, more international channels and more cable channels. Unlimited dvr with unlimited channels, All high definition channels, pause features, rewind,fast forward, continue watching, alert notice for an upcoming program.

The cable companies (particularly Comcast) are savvy to the cord cutters and plan to add usage charges in 2022. I was told for tier one internet which is 25 mb/s the included cap will be around a 1.2 tb data limit per month and then billed per gigabyte after that. They will eventually get their money one way or another. Until there’s more competition we’re at their mercy.

I cut the cord and have like 300mbps service for $60 month from Comcast. The performance and reliability is excellent. I own all of my own equipment, so I don't pay any rental fees.

I feel he's making in my opinion the classic mistake in comparing something like RU-vid TV to traditional cable. Most people that have traditional cable are also getting Netflix, Disney bundle and possibly HBO anyway. So really we are just comparing cable to RU-vid. Subtracting the $100 cost of cable and substituting the $65 RU-vid TV is a savings - apples for apples. I have Verizon and when I canceled the cable portion of it they did not raise my internet rate - that stayed at $50 a month. However, I choose what the $65 RU-vid TV charge was too much when it went up so dropped that, got CBS All Access and a few free TV apps, plus some sports channels that don't charge. I now pay less than a hundred bucks a month including internet for everything I want.
