My bills with satellite looked like this:
Directv - $80-130 (different every month due to random discounts)
Comcast - $60 (still need internet even with satellite)
Amazon prime - $8 (i had this anyway because i buy a lot)
Netflix - $8 (i had this anyway)
I dropped Directv and added Sling TV just for ESPN basically. My comcast internet includes HBOgo access. So essentially i'm saving $60-110/month.
Your math isn't working because you are apparently looking at cable and internet as mutually exclusive. Do you not have internet with your current cable subscription? And no you don't need 50mb internet. 25 is plenty, and you could probably get by with less than that

I'm with Cox and yes my internet and TV are together that total a $120 together. You also aren't comparing apples and apples. You have satellite AND internet and your Satellite is expensive.
I'll just use what is on the Cox site.
Cox Cable with TV and internet is $100 per month for 12 months and then it actually goes up a little after that.
Cox Internet ONLY for 50mb is $60 which looks the same as comcast. Oh and trust me with a family of 4 cutting the cord completely you will need 50mb down or you will have problems.
So now you have an available $40 to spend which is a far cry from 80-130.
Sling plus at $25 gives you a very limited set of channels and no DVR.
Netflix $8 (Have already but lets add on as if I didn't)
Amazon Prime $8 (Have already but lets add on as if I didn't)
That's $41, I'm loosing a $1 a month for not quite as good service.
You are simply dropping your expensive satellite in place of sling so you will have savings which is not typical. The HBO account with comcast is value add for sure. What does that run if you have to subscribe?
