[quote=Anonymous]I cut the cord back in 2011. I moved at the beginning of this year, so I got Comcast's promo of $29.99 a month for 25mbps. Prior to that, I paid $49.99 for RCN's 50mbps plan. Both prices include tax. I bought my own modem-router combo for $150 at Best Buy, so no rental fee.

Netflix's selection is 95% outdated, but for $9 it keeps my daughter happy, and it gives me that random feeling you get when you scroll through channels and see old movies/shows on cable. I have Hulu for more recent shows. I pay $11 for the commercial free version, so it's on par with a DVR in my opinion. It's missing some things (local news, sports, CBS). I don't miss them though.

Once a year, I subscribe to HBO Now $15 for a month or two so that I can binge watch the most recent season of Game of Thrones, Newsroom, Westworld, or whatever the popular show is at the time.

For any new movies, I just go to Redbox.

I did the free trial of YouTube TV last month. It wasn't worth it. Too many commercials for $35. It was like watching regular TV with 2 minute commercials throughout the show. [/quote]
