I have Spectrum. Oddly enough I am totally satisfied with quality and customer service. It is the cost that bites. Tried the various internet TV services. Wife objected so for a happy life, well you know the drill.

Pay TV is not the same as cable?

“with DirecTV accounting for 778,000 alone in its fifth straight quarter of net losses”

Good, Direct TV are thieves and deserve every bit of this. What do they all expect when they promote leftist ideology and propaganda garbage.

I quit cable/satellite several years ago. I refuse to pay for CNN, MSNBC, the homosexual channel, etc. I’m sure everyone knows this by now, but you don’t have to watch them, you’re still paying for and supporting them.

We are into our third year of a cut cable/Comcast. Our new Comcast Business costs a little over $100/month, plus 15$/mo for Acorn and 2 other channels. During baseball season, we subscribe to Sling Blue and don’t pay ESPN, Fox, ABC nor Disney. Sling Blue costs us $25/month.

Comcast business internet is faster and appears to be more reliable than the old internet in the regular comcast internet.

Two neighbors with the same old Comcast system, we used to have are paying $350/month with increases every 6 months.

We donate $5/month via our Prime to PBS and get great shows/choices and a $60/year deduction.

How ever, this is too complicated or too much change for so many. They had rather bitch about the high costs of cable and bad programming. So don’t try it!

Maybe drive-in movie theaters will come back.

I cut the cord in June and wish I’d done it years ago!

I am splitting several streaming services with a friend since each has multiple screen usages.

I have Amazon Prime, Hulu (commercial free) and CBS All Access (commercial free) and it comes to about $20 or so a month. Can’t beat that! At first I went with the cheaper versions with commercials but they just drove me crazy and for $4 more a month it was hard to not opt to to commercial free!

I am able to watch every single thing I watched before I cut the cord.

This is not including internet, which is about $65, and I would have regardless of if I’d cut the cord.

So far the toughest thing has been keeping track of what I do watch and remembering to go watch it! I’m still used to stuff being recorded on my DVR and seeing what I had to watch. I’ll remember a show I’m watching and realize I haven’t even thought of it for the last 3 weeks, but then I have 3 episodes to go binge watch.

If they would give the customers what we want instead of forcing a bunch of useless channels on us, they would have more customers.

How long until it costs 200 dollars to have internet? There is no way that cable companies are going to be ok with this.
