I get that there are savings to be had, and I am cutting in 12 days, but how are people getting $100 in savings ?

I pay $100 a month for Cable and internet right now, Cutting out the tv part is only saving like $30 Which adding a Sling tv for $25 negates. (note I already pay for Prime and Netflix so im not adding or deducting for those)

By having slower internet connections and using illegal/unethical sources, for the most part.

ATT Uverse cable and Internet after taxes and fees was about 200. I carried HD, Sports Package, and premium channels. My internet bill is about 80 by itself. Add sling tv Im at about 100. I always had Netflix and Prime. I'm about to shop wireless because ATT is robbing me there too. My contract is up in a month.

By sharing or using someones login to Netflix, Watch ESPN, Amazon etc. I can't mathematically make it work. A bandwidth connection to run the house will be a minimum of 50 bucks for 50 mg down. Add 20 bucks to sling tv, 8 bucks for netflix, 8 bucks for Amazon (99/12) unless you were an early subscriber and buy an HD antennae. Just TV with Cox 35 for what I have. Can't make it work without nefarious products or infringing on terms of use. I'm not condemning anyone that does but that seems to be the situation.
