Some will say I save no money but that is nonsense. I had Netflix Amazon and Hulu ALONG with cable. Now I have Netflix and Amazon and rotate Hulu with HBO and sometimes CBS All Access. My savings are the cost of Expanded Basic.
Folks like to argue that all I did was replace cable with the other options and that isn't true. Most folks have Netflix & Amazon before they even think of cutting the cord.
You don't get the full savings of cutting the cable option because you lose the bundle so they raise your internet price. I still easily save $50 a month and it is much easier to swap out the services I want with online options than it was to swap out cable boxes and services.
For me it was more about almost never turning on the cable box anymore. It wasn't to save money. It was to stop paying for a service I almost never used.

And you can get the services to all TVs in your house as well.
No contracts, full house coverage, more flexible viewing options are the 3 big things streaming has over cable right now.
