15. "literally just cut off my cable last week." In response to In response to 0 Mon Oct-15-18 08:40 AM by shygurl
I'm in a slightly different situation than most because over the past few months, I'v watched very little tv (work really got me stressed out :-( ) so there are no must watch shows or sporting events for me. I live by myself so there are no other viewing habits to consider.
So I previously had
150 Mbps internet speed digital preferred cable hbo one dvr one regular cable box
for $171.79 a month (including tax),
to having
60 Mbps internet speed fire stick amazon prime video Netflix (using my best friend's login)
for $69.99 a month (first bill hasn't generated yet so I don't know how much tax will be) (prolly like a million bucks cause comcast is an absolute piece of shit but I digress)
I gotta say I fucks with this Fire stick heavily cause with Amazon Prime they have a wide variety of nature and sleep music that I use as white noise to fall asleep. I have a Roku 2 that is ok, but I'm going to get another fire stick to use on my other tv. The only thing that I'll be getting is HBO Go when Game of Thrones comes back on, but that won't be for months. Overall I honestly don't miss the cable, but if my bill was even $40 less with the cable I would have kept it. I don't mind paying for convenience, but I couldn't justify paying $170 a month for something I wasn't using.
