Well, the ‘Blue’ version of Sling seems to include a lot more than just Fox News.

We were paying over $200 for cable/internet/phone ten years ago(!); and then we cut the cord and went to Roku and simple internet service (and VOIP for phones). We’re paying half of what we used to pay now, even with inflation and price increases.

I’m sure cable is useful for some people; it’s just not useful for us.

The problem with voice is that many sites on the net, require a phone number and they don’t accept voip. Numbers.

We would switch fro cable if there was a good service for phones, and TV didn’t cost an arm and a leg after getting all the channels you want- seems like none of the freebies offer quality channels like,Sci fi channel, Newsmax, history, etc without getting them as add-ons which add up to what we are paying for cable almost. Whatnimdo,like about cable is their phone service which let’s you see the number on the TV to see who is calling, and also hear an announcement of who is calling.. that is a very handy feature. Aorth the $$ jusy to be able to avoid being bothered to go find out who is,calling.

If we could go Ala cart and be under $30 per month for TV, and hen about $30-40 or,so,formhome phone, we would love to switch and jusy keep csble internet, however, we watch and record things like sports, news, many of the channels from 24-say 100 or so- plus we. Can record out to 2 weeks worth of shows and can record a bunch at a time too. I think everything is around $60 a month, and the rest are all hidden charges that skyrocket the price,of cabletv and internet bundle. Free TV is OK, but lacks a lot of what we like to watch. The cost of ala-cart would likely be about what we pay nkw tk get what we want, and would be more complicated.
