I think there was a big thread in this subject on the tech board.

Unfortunately you're anchored to them for internet. So just pay for that and nothing else.

It’s been over 15 years since i’ve Had cable. Don’t miss it one bit. I can stream everything, when I want, no commercials.
Or, did you just use Verizon instead of Cox? They're all the same man

Does YouTube TV have ATT sports?

Find a buddy with cable, offer him 20/mo for his username and password. Buy a firestick.
Not advocating for or against, simply answering the question asked.

Hulu. $45/month. All channels Tigers or Aints would ever appear on including SEC network. All local channels. I also have Amazon Prime which I already had anyway and figured out it has TONS of stuff plus all three TVs now play my Amazon music through the sound bar. I love it. Had to rid of At&T Uverse cuz internet signal was intermittent and now have Cox cable which is much better internet in uptown Nola. My friend 5 blocks away has At&t fiber and it is the ultimate. Not offered in my block. Now have no At&t product or service, nor the crappy DISH. Very happy.

Obviously Tesla was murdered by big cable

Don't make eye contact.

All if them, on demand.

They do. Try Sling TV

The biggest issue in most areas in avoiding cable companies is that they're the only provider of high speed internet. I moved from my last house right before Google fiber was installed. I'm stuck with cable internet at my current house. That said, that's all I pay them for. I have a roku, netflix, Amazon Prime video, sometimes we have Hulu, and during football/basketball season, I have SlingTV.

Ideas or alternatives? Hate paying the big companies
Right now your best bet is to get unlimited data plan with your Mobile Carrier and then tether(using your phone as a hot spot).
Then get a nice roof-mounted digital antenna for all your broadcast channels.
On a future note: When 5g actually does hit the residential market, you will see ATT, Verizon and such selling home wifi systems(basically a Router with a Sim card connected to your Mobile Plan) to replace cable companies all together as 5g will truly be able to compete with your basic residential internet speeds/latency/jitter. But we're a solid 3+ yrs from that.

You can already live stream ESPN at no extra cost (beyond the internet connection), just look around a bit. I haven't had paid TV connection for 15 years and have yet to miss a game, or anything else, that I wanted to see.

You can check online to see what they offer for your area, but I'm in Baton Rouge and I get all of the ESPN network channels, Fox Sports channels, local, etc....
Don't think I have ATT sports though.
You can also check out Sling TV. I have a buddy that uses that and loves it.
