I know there have been some threads here on cutting the cable, but hoping to get some specific guidance for my situation. We pay around $250/mo for cable/internet/hard line phone (Fios). The Fios internet/TV/phone bundle is $140, then another $75 for services and equipment (4 boxes, multi-room DVR, and HBO). Finally, there is another $38 of various fees and other charges. I’m wondering what my options are to get this bill down and still get the content we want. Of course, to add insult to injury, we also pay for other content providers as well, like Apple TV, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime because content is spread all over the place. Anyway, trying to solve for one problem at a time so want to start with cable - I’d love to kill it altogether if I can. Some requirements:
- We need at least 100 Mps internet (we currently have 100 - you can pay more for 300 and 1 Gps).
- We think we can go without a land line phone.
- I watch football so would want to be able to have access to NFL games - a la cart would be fine. I often watch night games but not usually Sunday day games.
- Need to be able to access HBO.
- Wife needs regular network TV - all local and national crap networks.
- Wife wants smut and other TV channels - Bravo, HGTV, NatGeo, Animal Planet, etc.
