[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check the price of the Internet alone you’d need to support all of that streaming. Between standalone decent Internet and all of the streaming services I couldn’t see how it would save much, if any money to cut cable which I have as part of a bundle and assume you do too. [/quote]

This.  It is cheaper for us to have all 3 services than internet alone.  I'm not sure there's anywhere in the DMV that has affordable, reliable internet-only providers.[/quote]

We have Verizon Fios and went from close to $300/month to $75/month for internet alone. I have no idea what the speed is, but we have no issues streaming shows while the PS4 is streaming downstairs and other devices are going.

We got a digital antenna (which only works so-so) for the local stuff.

I don't miss much on cable except being able to switch on some of the news channels to catch up.[/quote]

We did this with Cox and went from over $300/month for all 3 bundled, to $130/month phone and internet.

We have amazon prime, plus PSVue for the network, news and HGTV type channels, and the PBS app for me.

Even with paying for Vue, we are saving over $100/month.

We have 4 TVs, one that usually has kids gaming online, another teen online computer gaming plus smart phones/tablets, and rarely do we have even a lag.  At any given time there are 3 to 4 different devices online.

My husband is able to get tons of live sporting events through Vue: NFL, a bunch of MLB including the playoffs/world series, some Olympics, NHL playoffs, etc.

The only 3 channels we want but cannot get live are the Weather channel (have to use website), CMT (DCC Making the Team) and ABC live (don't really miss it).
