I still pay way too much for U-Verse every month but will not ever get Time Warner's new incarnation, Spectrum, because TW did me wrong years ago...I won't give them a penny, ever. Google Fiber is where I'm headed as soon as it is available in my area of town...Farkers cherry-picked where they built and it will be a while before I see them.
Get on Elon's waiting list for Starlink. I have a tech friend who lives in the middle of nowhere and he's really impressed with it.
Very cool...Let me look into how they are rolling that out.

still facing a challenge with my other half on channel line ups and ease of use i could live with yt tv or hulu live (something along those lines) comcast and att are practically the same service with similar tactics and some of this may be due to the channels/networks pricing as well
edit:just heard that roku and yt tv are having a spat (been using roku for my streaming)

$6/mo for Hulu $13/mo for Netflix Amazon Prime (with free shipping) $119 ESPN+ $6.95 (during hockey season) $36 a month total, and have more than enough stuff to watch.
We share the above with the kids, and we share their access to network streaming and HBO We were paying about $130 a month for cable over a year ago (plus internet).

"can you "cut the cord" and still get all the television you want?"
The thing is to not want so much television. Addicted though I was, I now can't fathom having the time for network TV or scheduling my life around it. On demand streaming helps but it's still hard for me to watch all of a show's episodes. Our living room TV rarely has TV shows on it. Baseball or Netflix or RP is pretty much the gamut.
We pay the $9 for Netflix, and $125 for MLB; that's less than 2 months' worth of cable. And rarely think Oh, I wish I had more stuff to watch...
for some strange reason this made me think of apps
i only use about ten or so apps
and out of those about five or six daily
so when i hear an OS has six hundred thousand apps i think that's a lot of redundance/redundancy

We have cable internet only. We pay for Netflix and HBO Now; in total nowhere near what cable TV service would cost us. Also, we have a Chromecast so anything we can get via the interwebs we can put on the big TV.
Calculate what it would cost you to get your content online.

If you don't have cable but still want to follow your favorite sport(s), you might be able to access espn3/watchespn by using the login credentials of a friend or family member that uses one of the TV providers listed here. YMMV. p.s. I think I even read that there are places where strangers will give up their login credentials to people who need them to access espn3/watchespn, if you make a request. Speaking of which, my son doesn't get Comcast any more, so I need to find a new login (hint-hint).
