I have cable but only because it was cheaper to get cable+internet than just Internet.

Which is weird

Spectrum wanted to increase my bill again, switched to Vue. I'm paying $80 less for internet and Vue than I would have been paying for internet and cable without a DVR with spectrum. I get a lot more sports, ton more college sports. I'm not regretting it.

I've never paid for cable in my life. My parents always had it and there was just so much crap on tv that I had no interest in despite dozens or hundreds of channels that I never bothered with it after moving out.

"Cord cutter" implies that I ever paid for cable after becoming an adult. I never did.

I used to get local stations with no antenna but I went messing with the channels trying to get my atari 2600 to work and now I can't get them again.

Kinda.

I replaced TV service with nothing.

Earlier this month we did get the Netflix free trial though so we'll see.

And that's preventing you from cutting the cord how?

Serious question, what are the alternatives? I've been trying to find online streaming for this stuff for a long time and it honestly seems impossible without paying every network individually, which would add up to a TV bill and then some anyway.

Streaming still hasn't caught up to cable in that department.

I had a nice 3-4 month run using a 10 days for free code before they picked up on it.

But I got my fire stick for everything now. Its beautiful.

Sling TV is probably the best alternative if you like sports as $20 lands all of the sports channels, minus the local ones but those are free anyway

i really only still have cable TV because my roommate insists on it for sports. if i lived by myself i would cancel the cable and just pay for good internet.

our cable bill for TV + HBO + internet (50 Mbps down) is $150 after everything. if i just got internet from the same company it would be close to $90, so i'm getting HBO, which is $20 and cable for basically $60 on top of the internet price. it's not that bad, imo.

I was like that until my friend Cody told me about something else. Its a lot cheaper and just as good as cable. Definitely gets the job done.
