old fart
My cable bill was well over $200 and here's what I did:
Home telephone to Majicjack: $35 a year
Local channels now on attic antenna total one time cost: $35 for motorized antenna and coax.
Fire tv recast box which includes local channel DVR, 4k fire stick and another antenna I can put on another tv, one time cost roughly: $220
Second fire stick for second TV: $40
Fubo internet TV because I wanted Mavtv for dirt racing, hunting and fishing channels. There the only one who offers Mavtv.
Fubo is good to use on 3 tv's at the same time so my Daughter also got FUBO in the deal and I can now watch my own TV even when traveling.
Fubo: $65 a month.
New cable bill for just high band internet $70
No ESPN plus if I want it which I don't you can get ESPN plus for $6 a month.
New monthly cost will go from well over $200 a month to around $150 even if I would get ESPN plus added on.
The biggest difference is the picture quality over the antenna and over the internet is much better then it was with cable.
I get 16 antenna channels and my daughter and son in law because of their location get 32 channels over their antenna.
As far as the cable co goes they put me on a 9 month vacation stoppage, I didn't have to do anything with current boxes except I unplugged two tv boxes.
I can go back to the cable company anytime I want, if we want to, with a simple phone call.
If were ok with our current setup all we do is have them send us a shipping label and send back the two tv boxes keeping our existing modem.
I got tired of them constantly jacking up the price and handling me every year for some sort of old fart discount.
We'll see how it goes but well over $200 to $150 for more channels and movies and everything else we get, along with better picture quality can't be ignored.
Depending on the channels you like to watch $65 for internet TV is on the high end and you can easily get it down to maybe $35 a month if you don't need so many channels.
hope this helps others
