I returned all their equipment. I now only have internet and “land line” phone. I’m saving over $100/month. I now subscribe to YouTube TV and Britbox. I don’t miss a thing. Not one thing.

Several stream services just doubled their rates. We axed them.

I think years ago, some network, perhaps NBC, marketed their prime time lineup as “must see TV”

How many people think in terms of “must see” TV programs anymore? If indeed they ever did?

[donozark]

I subscribe to Youtube TV as well. Beautiful pic. Volume clear. They did have a food fight with MLB and no longer available.

Also, it sometimes doesn't play well with LG TV. But they are "working on it" they tell me.

Same here, but image quality and sound isn’t as good. Even OTA beats streaming, DVR still beats them all.

I woukda cut the cord 5 years ago if the wife woulda let me. She finally saw the light and now we have toutubetv but there are a few idiosyncrasies I don’t care for. For instance if you stop watching something you previously recorded and go back to it, the recording starts from the beginning all over again.....very annoying.

Also, no slow motion viewing and some recordings are absolutely loaded with ads you cannot fast forward through......we may try Sling before too long....comparable programming at half the cost.

we’d love to cut cable, but having to pay extra for some channels per month to get what we like bring it all back up to, or more than cable-

internet and “land line” phone. I’m saving over $100/month

The cable co recently increased my speed and will raise prices soon, so I changed to a lower plan. I don't need 900Mbps. I dropped to 100Mbps which is plenty fast for me and it will save me around $40 per month.

They closed their local office (town of about 25K population). Now, it is drive 30 miles or try to do business online. It took me nearly an hour of online chat to get my internet speed change. That would have take 5 minutes in a local store.

It's been a few years for me since I cut my cable.

Not only do I not miss it but when I go to hotel rooms, I don't even turn the TV on. I just fire up my laptop and stream something on that if I want to watch something.

[cherry]

well we get the phone, land line, plus the cable internet....

so can I get rid of cable without disrupting the others?...

we have amazon prime already.....what other channels are worth subscribing too....any advice would be helpful.

Comcast is now charging us $200 a month for cable, phone, internet. We are going to drop the phone and cable but still, Comcast being the only service in our area still has us by the tail.

[napscoordinator]

I talked to a Comcast worker and he said they can’t wait to get out of the cable business and just concentrate on internet. Soon internet will cost what cable does today. Don’t think for a minute Comcast and others are going to lose money in the long run.

I got rid of Spectrum cable and landline last year, after many, many years with Time Warner. My son asked me to add The NFL Network to our cable line-up. I called customer service three different times, each time being required to sit on hold while I was transferred to the sales department, which never picked up my call. I spent a total of three hours between the three calls, having my phone on speaker waiting to be connected. I was kept in a perpetual holding pattern. The next day I took my DVR, second cable box, and both remotes to the local Spectrum store here, and told him to cancel my cable and landline, and retain the internet.

The clerk offered me the higher internet speed for free, but then told me I'd have to use their own router. I told him I use a VPN from time to time, and questioned if that would be a problem. He told me I would have to ask their permission to use it. Scratch that.

A week later I had to call Spectrum because the asshole at the store showed I'd brought all my equipment back, but he never stopped my cable or landline service. Then I had to call them back again a month later, because I discovered they were still charging me for something related to cable. I will never do business with Spectrum ever again.

I dumped cable in 2020 and haven’t looked back.

My internet is fiber and it is not tied to the cable companies at all. Plus fiber is awesome!

I do have Directv Stream however because I am addicted to sports.

I helped my friend get off of Cox and switch to Verizon 5G and move to Directv Stream and he saved $150 per month.

[Mean Daddy]

Exactly what we did but we dropped the land line. We have YouTube TV, FreeVee, Tubi & Amazon Prime but not a big fan of their TV services.
