Thread: cable TV costs.....

Yep. Get rid of cable. Go with high speed internet and buy an Amazon fire stick with a HD TV antennae.

A Netflix subscription is about $8.00/Mo.
Amazon Prime is about $100/Yr. and it will pay for itself three times over in complimentary 2nd day shipping.
Hulu Plus is another $8.00/Mo.

Figure your internet is $60.00/mo.+$20-$30/mo. for streaming services and you're looking at saving roughly $100/month compared to cable.

Wow,,,,, that would save a bunch.....what high speed internet you using Wind? I use broadband by southern bell or ATT

I have ATT and I'm about to drop them for Comcast. I don't really like either, but Comcast is faster. ATT internet has been buggy for us.

For several years, we had DSL broadband from ATT. It worked pretty well with my son watching Netflix while I worked on-line, but it struggled a bit when we would both try to stream video. Last year the ATT router went out. In the process of replacing it I learned that they had just added Uverse out here, so I got to upgrade. It has been great. I can watch Acorn Tv while Tommy watches Netflix and it is flawless.

That said, have you thought about keeping just the basic cable package, and filling in the blanks with Netflix, Hulu, etc.? Basic cable is cheap, and Comcast does it's best to bury the option, but they do offer it. Check out this link if you're interested.
