    Not paying for more cable when the bill is already outrageous

    Hulu+ at least 80 live channels, ESPN + Disney+ $80. Netflix $15. Paramount+ $10 Tubi free. Pluto free. LG channels free. Peacock free. Amazon free with Prime.

    Got rid of that outrageous cable Bill a couple of years ago.

    That’s $115 for your streaming. You’re paying for Prime so you’re Amazon isn’t really free. You could just as easily say I get free shipping on cheap crap for my viewing subscription to Amazon. How much you paying for internet? I’m at $185 for a cable and internet bundle that gives me all the sports I want and boxes to watch anything in three different rooms. That includes a bunch of free streaming and then I’ll buy one streaming service at a time on a rotation. No matter how I try to slice it I either steam from three or four pay providers and then pay more for stand alone internet or I bundle my cable. Whatever I choose I seem to pay between $180 and $200 to get the shit my family wants and most importantly the sports I want.
    Xfinity was costing me $265 monthly. Box rental alone was $15 a pop each month.

    Internet+ Netflix $116. Hulu+ $84. That's $200. No cables, no boxes, no paying for worthless channels and no surprise channel drops.

    The wife has had Prime forever. It is what it is.

    That'll happen in 2028 or so, when the existing Fox contract they bought very cheaply runs out.

    Peacock is free with Hulu. You have to pony up $10 if you want Peacock+.

    Any of those apps are worthless unless you pay

    I ger MAX because I pay for HBO on DTV wireless. I pay for Prime. I have the Paramount network and the other movie services on DTV so I'm good

    Right around 200 bucks a month and every football game except Pac 12 Network
