My wife and I did the same too. We only have Netflix for the time being, but if we ever did miss regular TV enough, we would simply add on Hulu. We do also miss college sports, but we don’t live near our favorite teams so it’s not like we could see those games on local channels anyway.

I had to negotiate my Internet bill last month and during that time I made it known repeatedly that streaming services are the new norm and their insistence to get me on a bundled package of worthless tv channels for over $100 a month is a step backwards. I don’t understand how cable companies don’t get understand this yet. They absolutely refuse to be competitive with companies like Netflix or Hulu. It must be that there are enough people who don’t know their options or don’t look at their bill that these companies can get away with it.

If anyone out there is paying more $50/month for tv/internet, you need to know that you can be paying less. Make a statement and drop your cable/satellite tv. Catch up on your shows by watching them online or on Netflix/Hulu/etc for less than $10/month. Trust me, after a few months, you won’t miss it anymore.

It's a nice idea in theory, but not-so-far-out-here in the woods, we can't get internet speeds that allow us to stream.

How do you get Hulu’s service in your home?

What do you do for internet service.

Thanks
