Had the Comcast “Triple Play” of phone, Internet and Cable. Cost $176.00. Last weekend we bought an Ooma for phone service. Our monthly payment will be $3.83 (taxes). This past weekend we bought our own modem so we don’t have to rent from comcast. This morning I had the cable shut off. We replaced it with faster internet service: 25 mbps to 105 mbps. Cut our bill by $100.00. We have a Roku. We added Sling TV for $20.00. It’s live tv with only 12 stations, but all live. It has several different ESPN channels, HGTV, Travel Channel, Food Network, Family channel and a few more. Works for us. The only channel I really really will miss is Fox News Channel.
Ooma is VOIP??? Where do you get your improved internet?

After 8 years of no cable TV (internet only), and 4 years of AppleTV & Netflix, I finally relented to my wife’s demands to see the Winter Olympics “the normal way” and switched providers (to get the network drop point moved in the house for free) and got standard cable TV. All we’ve subsequently watched is a few hours a month of The Bachelor[ette], House Hunters et al, and the Super Bowl. 6 months later, the price just jumped >$60/mo. I’ll be dropping into the AT&T store and cutting that service - _again_.
AND I’ll be bugging them about 7Mbps service when 25Mbps is the legal minimum for “broadband” (as of a couple weeks ago, the FCC changed the definition).
Personally, I stopped watching Fox News even when I had cable. Didn’t miss it much at all. No longer think of it and find it annoying if I am anywhere it is on.
Fox News, free.
Tons of shows, and movies, no commercials and free! Scroll down...
