I get that you individually cut costs, but it’s because you were getting a bad deal before cutting the cord. Likely because you were a long time customer and lost your introductory pricing.
Anyway, you could sign up for AT&T through another name, or sign up for Xfinity or another top carrier, use their introductory pricing, and get three times the channels for like $110. Not to mention the exponential stability increase traditional cable gives over streaming
yeah, but most people are paying for their interent anyway, so i don't see the point in including it in your streaming costs. you're paying for the internet AND your cable/satellite.
and that introductory price is just that...introductory.
the flexibility streaming provides is so much nicer than what you cand do with cable/satellite. you can spend as much or as little as you want.
so, me for example, i do internet home phone and internet together, it's like $60. by doing that i eliminated my previous $70 bill for internet only AND my $30/mo phone bill. so that's $40 saved just by doing that.
i was spending just north of $200 for direct TV...so for internet, phone and directtv, it was approaching $300/month.
got rid of that and now do PSVue, netflix, Hulu for $70ish a month. i have HBONow and Showtime, but i only have those as long as i need/want them for whatever shows they have...cancel at anytime.
so where i was,just 2 years ago spending $300/mo on phone, interenet and satellite, i'm now spending $130.
$150-$160/mo when i have HBO/Showtime.
I also have Amazon Prime Video, but it comes with a prime membership, and we use that for more than the streaming, so i don't really count that in that spending since it's a dual use thing....but throw another $9/month on top of that if you want to.
either way, i'm still saving around $120/month over what i was spending.
