We have Fios and kind of no-frills service (kids channels, no sports, lower speed internet, etc) yet are still paying $110 per month... starting to feel like it's not worth it.
How much is your bill? If you cut the cable cord but use a streaming service, how does it compare? Did you have to upgrade your internet to make it work well? |

I just switched from Fios (the works package/internet and phone) $260/mo. to Comcast (one step up from basic, internet and phone) $134/mo.
I wish I could cut it all, but sadly we are huge sports fans and they did not offer a package for just internet and phone with decent download speeds. We're still tethered but paying less. |

| $180. That includes phone, internet, cable with three HD boxes and a DVR, HBO. It's ridiculous but we can't give it up. |

I have the same Comcast package. I want to cut the cord, but internet alone is $70. When you add in streaming you are about back to where you started. |

| FIOS subscriber here. $99/month (includes all the taxes and fees) for 50mbps internet and custom tv package with sports |

Just double checked and we only pay $94.87/month. I don't rent any DVR boxes. I just rent a cable card for $5/month and run our home network from a PC. |

$150 with Comcast. It's so much money, by DW has to have her Bravo show. I'm basically paying $150/month for internet, Bravo, and Game of Thrones. Such a waste of money.
I'd really like to slim down and just have internet, Nexflix, HBO Go, and Bravo on-demand. Any way to do this and save $$$? |

I want to do that, but my husband won't give up MASN. He loves his Wizards... |

it looks like he can get CSN Mid-Atlantic with the Sling Blue package ($25/month). It also includes Bravo and the NFL Network (with Red Zone). Pretty awesome. I'm going to bring it up to my DW tonight! Sling also lets you add HBO for $15 extra per month. https://www.sling.com/service |

I'm the PP with ~$95/month FIOS. If you have an XBOX, you can stream Netflix and HBO through it. Not sure about Bravo. We actually went without cable TV for a full year and just had streaming content this way. DH went to the sports bar for his games. Then, Verizon decided to double our internet bill. It went from $40 to $80/month. That's when I decided to add TV back to the mix. It wasn't much more but the fees are crazy! I think I pay $20/month, maybe more for fees. There were no fees or taxes for just internet. None for streaming content either. |

We found they dramatically decrease the Internet speed if you don't sign up for the TV.
Remember when AOL was $19.95 a month? Good times. Remember, you're paying twice for Internet in many cases if you have a smart phone. |

$70 for internet, basic TV and HBO. We also pay for Netflix.
It annoys me we can't get just internet and that it costs so much, but that's a monopoly for you. |

Why do you still need a home phone? You should look into VoIP. |
