Also came with DVR service, again, cheaper than just the internet alone. So for just under $65 a month, we have Fios’ basic offerings, plus DVR service (and another 3 months of free HBO...)
Otherwise, we cut the cord for pay tv service about 7 years ago. Sometimes miss breaking news events, but much of it is streamed online now. We've saved at least $8,500 by doing so.
Between streaming, downloads and over-the-air TV, it’s pretty hard to justify spending anything at all on cable.
