Cable guy talked me off the ledge. Explained my internet would cost more than Basic + Internet. So I dropped the box and remote and kept the basic.

Also dropped my phone down to $10 bucks a month from $37 so my total package went from $180 to $83.

The phone is already annoying with no caller ID. That was a mistake on my part. I'll cancel it next year.

My only worry was shitty analog for watching Saints games but I see up around 700, I have all local channels in pristine HD so I'm happy.

Can't wait to add HBO to my list and then I assume ESPN soon.

1.Netflix
2.Amazon Prime
3.Free Hulu
4."Find The Rest"

Your basic cable package doesnt have ESPN? Who are you using that has that?

Cox doesn't have ESPN on basic.

That is expanded Basic for ESPN.

In the Bard household HBO's existence has been relegated strictly to the Game of Thrones season.

I can't wait til Google Fiber is nationwide so I can really cut the cord with confidence.

HBO Now is expected to launch prior to the start of the 5th Game of thrones season.

My household will be a subscriber.

If Sling makes it where you can watch on multiple devices at the same time, i am all in on cutting the chord. Especially now that they have added AMC to the lineup.

By the time you add all that up it will equal the cable bill
