For $45/month I get ATT fiber and DirecTV. I haven't been able to find a streaming setup that would allow me to scrap the dish yet.

For internet and TV for $45 a month that's a steal. I'm paying $50 for internet alone.

Yeah. The biggest issue for me is right now I pay $30 for the internet and $15 for the directv. If I drop directv, my internet goes up to $40/month and switches from unlimited to 1TB cap per month.
So essentially, the directv is costing me $5/month and gives me unlimited internet usage.

I saved about $30/month off of Cox's promotional price. Not sure how much it would have cost after the promotional price expired. However, DirectTV Now is much better and most importantly there's no contractual agreements. I am most likely never getting cable again.

I save about 2K a year, it would be more if my internet wasn't so expensive but there is no competition here. Cable one is the only player in town
Internet and TV package from them would be north of $300 a month.
But i pay $105 a month for internet
$90 a year for IPTV
$40 a month for PSVue
$10 a month for Netflix

From another thread. Saving 70 currently, 60 after my discount falls off. But honestly I feel like I have much more that comes with what I have.
quote:
I've got ATT Gigabit, 3 apple tvs, directvnow with HBO, and netflix and I can watch just about anything I want to. The apple tv remote can control the volume, turn on/off just about any modern tv. Directv has a guide that is just like any cable provider, only they don't have a last channel like you mentioned which is bothersome sometimes. But there's voice control built into the remote which trumps that for me. Screaming kid who needs Moana on yesterday? Voice request and two button presses later I'm there without scrolling through.
But I only pay 150/month currently and think I go up to 160 bc of the gigabit after the first year. I was about to be up to $220/month with Uverse before I decide to switch.

I'm in Georgia and the only fast internet at my house is Comcast. I have 1gb service with a dumb 1024g cap. I haven't actually touched the cap yet, but I'm within 100g today with 2 days to go.
I spend right at $100 for internet which is expensive.
I purchased twisted tv iptv for 3 mths at $40. It works good except when you HAVE to have it and then it will let you down. We also sprang for real debrid due to having trouble lately getting good scrapes I think it is like $9/mth.
My father has dishtv and I'm able to tap into his online account to watch the locals if I need to or even espn if twisted is acting up.
Really the only live tv we watch is football and my wife watches hallmark during this time of year. But you can usually find the hallmark movies on kodi without commercials.
It started as a reason to save money and ended up being a way to avoid commercials. Once you do away with them, it's VERY hard to go back to live tv. My wife is almost to the point of doing away with live tv (even the beloved hallmark) if it means she doesn't have to watch another commercial for some pill that has a billion side effects or is for whatever latest 'happy pills' there is out there.

Outside of live sports, no one in our house watches anything live. There's no way i could watch a show with commercials. I'd lose interest and quit watching.
Cut the cord about 3 years ago. I was able to get some free Roku boxes for signing up for Sling under my name and then my wifes. Have a Sony Android Tv and a Sharp with a built in Roku and 2 firetv's, and an antenna for locals.
I have a plex server that has almost a thousand movies on it, and every sunday i go torrent whatever tv shows from the previous week that the wife and i watch, all of them are on local channels so i really don't feel bad about "stealing" that. I could either get a tabloo and DVR those shows into plex, or simply torrent them.
I do'nt have a streaming service b/c my log in from cox from 2 years ago still works for some reason. I got cable for like 3 days b/c it was pretty much the same cost as having Vue. Internet with cable $105, Internet without cable $80. Anyways, i simply had no need for the cable, and it wasn't $105 like they said it would be, even after taxes and all like they said it would be, so i cancelled it a few days after getting it. For whatever reason, i can still log in with that account into the watchespn app and foxsports app. Been two years now i've been doing that. Don't feel bad about that at all either.
What i was paying directv before i cut the cord was about $130-140, i think. Now it's just $80.
Wife wasn't happy about cutting the cord at first, but we would never go back to getting cable again.

Depends on your market and options more than anything. Here in Chicago I get att uverse/directtv for $100/mo tv and internet. It’s just not worth dropping that tv package for the alternative
