[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 997303, member: 944"] I cut off the cable because of their high costs and limited access to some things I really wanted to see. But mostly it was a cost issue for us. Since then, I have been using DirectV at about $105 per month. I get Disney+ and Amazon Prime as parts of other packages I purchase anyway. My internet is via Verizon at $40 per month. So, overall, I am content even though the lagging with streaming is QUITE annoying. I also added Hulu to avoid having to train my wife on different remotes for different TV's. (It was well worth the cost to avoid that quagmire!) My experience though is that Hulu doesn't really work all that wekl unless you get their Ultra equipment. No monthly fee, but a one time up front fee. The Ultra can be found for $80 when it goes on sale (it's usually $100). I do think occasionally about going back to Comcast (which is the only cable service where I live), but by the time we get 3 cable boxes for our 3 TV's etc etc, it is well into the $250 a month range...that doesn't work well for me. I have a second home in a different state where I do use Spectrum for internet only. It's $105 a month these days, and I am seriosuly thinking abput making the switch to Verizon for that account IF it would work there (it's a pretty rural area). [/QUOTE]
