Un-cutting the Cord
Posted on 6/13/17 at 12:27 pm

Decided to look around and was offered a direct TV+ 50mbps Uverse Internet combo for 90/mo for two years. All the sports channels and asked for two years of nfl Sunday ticket to be thrown in.
I currently pay 60 bucks a month with Cox (50mpbs).
Good deal or should I look for a better one?

I'm in the process of doing the same thing... I've been perfectly happy with DTVN and kodi but I couldn't pass up the ATT/DTV bundle prices.
DTV choice (with Sunday ticket and hbo) + ATT Gigafiber + unlimited cell data plan for $205
Sunday ticket is a one year deal but I THINK the rep told me I get hbo free as long as i have att cell service. The installers are coming tomorrow so I'll get more info then.

Please post where you saw this deal. I have uverse internet only 45Mb down and pay around $92/month. I've been an internet only customer since January 2012. They won't give me any more discounts unless i bundle. They usually offer DTV and internet, but only 6Mb down for around $100/mth.

Obviously when that expires in two years I'll have to figure something out.

Ive cut, then un cut, than not cutting again
Just depends on the situation
In Germany I was full on cutting the cord. In England I bundle my fiber internet with tv. A big factor was the much better picture quality in the UK, with 4K being provided by the major companies.
Back in the US we cut the cord again. Now that I can use my parents log ins and vue with out using VPNs.

This is a pretty sweet deal. I pay more for 2 phones on Verizon unlimited and Cox 200 mbps.

Is this in BR? I had a salesman in my neighborhood quote me 50 Mbps, but when I tried to set it up online they said that it is only 18 Mbps.

I got pretty much the same deal as the op but they also threw in $350 worth of visa gift cards. This was back in February. Installion was free and there are no monthly charges for equipment (up to 4 rooms). HBO free for 3 months since I'm not an att cell customer.
In terms of finding a better deal from a different provider, you most likely won't.
Edit- before anyone starts talking about hidden fees, im on a $90/mo package and my monthly bill, inclusive of taxes and fees is $97. I'm extremely satisfied.

Att/DTV are making it hard to pass up their proces.. cox has GO TO feel the pain

Cord cutting was the worst decision ever. We switched back after a month. Unless you are single with one tv in a one bedroom apartment it's not worth it.

You know...they always offer that stuff for 2 years. I'm like hell...offer it to me for 5 years. I'd love not to be bothered and keep the same service I got...2 years isn't long enough.
I wish they would negotiate for longer periods of time.

i'm in los angeles so there's plenty of competition in my area. if directv jacks up the rate after my 2 years are up, ill just switch to spectrum's new customer triple play package. when that is up, go back to Dtv/att.... rinse & repeat.

agree 100%. also what i find funny is that alot of people claim that cord cutting saves them a ton of money, but what they are really doing is using family or friends log-ins for espn, hbo, netflix, etc.
when spectrum raised my bill i looked into psvue or DTVnow, but for a family with different needs, and the new customer promos from uverse, directv or dish, cord cutting would have been more expensive.

Married cord-cutter with two kids under 5 here, and cutting the cord was one of the best decisions I've made in a while.

We're looking around to cut the cord. After a lot of research, we decided to go with CSpire internet and cable. With 5 receivers, it's going to be $170 per month, which is a considerable savings over the $320 we're currently paying Comcast.
CSpire is rolling out streaming options soon; so we can really take the cord-cutting leap when we are ready.
ETA Comcast sucks. They are absolutely the worst company I have ever had the displeasure with which to deal.

I'm at 200mb (Time Warner), PSVue, Netflix. No HBO, but I have Kodi, so, who cares, you know?
That's $55+$45+$12 = $112 per month. Use FireTV box at every TV.
