    Xfinity|$125.00. Barely look at the damn thing except for English Premiere League Football, La Liga & Serie A Football, Champion League Football, couple more sports and the AM news. Got the Amazon fire stick with Kodi thing but overall I rarely look at television.

    Around $200.

    We got our cable and Internet bundled together through directv.

    I also got NBA league pass that's hitting the account currently as well as HBO and Starz movie channels.

    Netflix is good; however, not good as a replacement cable provider for me, and they don't update their ? enough for me good ? drops and they don't get it until like a year or two later sometimes even longer if at all.

    I also like to keep up with sporting events such as basketball and football and from my experience streaming is not nearly as reliable.

    This^^^

    I feel that nobody should be paying for cable in these times especially when you have those devices in your repertoire. I rarely watch TV unless it's NBA or Power. If it's not both of those then the TV is off

    No cable since September. Netflix and an HDMI cord to watch anything from my laptop on the TV. I don't miss much so far.

    Too much for wack ass xfinity. Rental agreement on my house says we can't have a dish tho (don't ask me why) otherwise i woulda switched cuz it's cheaper. I just got a fire stick with kodi and have netflix and all that but i do still watch a good amount of live tv so it's worth it for now. I don't be in the mood to try to go through the internet to stream all the time.

    I got a unlocked Amazon box with some applications like Phoenix, movie 4K, navi,

    They sell them on eBay for around 50-150$, one time price, all you need is an internet connection, and you can watch movies that come out in a week, movies in theatre, old movies, new tv shows, old tv shows, pretty much anything, all the nudie flixxx, pauper view events

    Just gotta have wifi, stop paying for cable about a year and a half ago

    all you have to do is tell them you going to cancel your subscription and they will adjust your bill...

    I have basic cable now. Use to have direct tv in my basement for football. We have a firestick in every room with kodi installed. I wont let cable go though cuz i cant get local channels in kodi. I could do an antenna but nah. A lil over a 100 month.

    My ? cost me £120($170) a month including internet. So I got all major sports and movie channels...

    But the thing is, everything i watch airs in the US first so I still stream almost everything I watch and I got Kodi installed on the smart TV for new movies and some sports. Shows like Flash, American Crime Story don't reach the UK till weeks after airing in the US....i aint got time to wait.

    I keep the ? for the kids to be honest. Movies/Music and kids channels. Plus I got Sky Go similar to HBO Go I guess...I watch the news everyday in my car on the way to work and catch football games when I'm out or have them on my phone when the kids watching TV.

    I may look to reduce it, by I love the fact I can watch everything at my convience in full HD, plus they doing full box sets like netflix so...iunno.

    But I have links for everything, so I don't actually need it..smh

    Did that twice. First time they did it, second time they called my bluff lol

    how you do it is talk to them right before your bill goes up...

    I just did it in January.. they told me as long as I talk to them by December they will keep my bill the same....
