“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.”
How do you get Hulu’s service in your home?
What do you do for internet service.
Thanks
Many of the Internet services will over Internet for under $40/month. I think any place that is charging more than $30 is a ripoff, but that's a discussion for another time. So let's say a worst case of $44.99/month for Internet (Comcast pricing after first 6 months) + Hulu (for $7.99 ) + Internet Service taxes, you would end up no worse than $58/month. I'm $8 off from my original statement, but that is the worst case.
Clarifying further, I did look at Comcast, and while they initially offer 25MB Internet at $30, it does go up to $45 after 6 months. ATT (for me) does the same thing and why I spent over a month calling the local cable/DSL companies to see who would be willing to compete more. In the end, cable won with $35/month for a 2 year contract. It's no guarantee, but it is a good tip, try calling these places. Tell them the offer of their competitor, and tell them you are willing to sign a contract, and see what they say. If they refuse to lower the price, hang up and try again another day. I can assure you they have the authority to lower the price. Many of the sales reps will respond those trigger phrases like "this company is offering me this price" or "I am willing to sign on for the next 2 years". Every two years, I go through this mess with them and every single time either cable or DSL gives in and offers me something lower.
It should also be noted that if your Internet provider is cable, you can try attaching the cable to your tv and seeing what happens. There is a chance they are broadcasting local channels through the cable and not telling you. Sometimes it is a digital signal and sometimes it can even be on old analog tvs. It's no guarantee, but it is worth trying if all you have is Internet. You could end up with all the local channels very clearly without the hassle of an antenna.
