I am an old geezer probably much like your parents. I am kind of a techy though so I compared everything and after my last Comcast bill showed $175 per month I had enough.
I found out that TMO had a sweet deal of $10 off each month for 12 months on YTTV. I told my wife we would save about $70 a month the first year and then $60 a month going forward after that. She was sold.
I showed her the YTTV interface and she said okay after we compared the video of Comcast with YTTV.
A year ago I might not have done this as the cable bill seemed okay. Another $22 took me over the edge.
So long Comcast. I'm glad I knew you, but hello YTTV.

Tried T-Mobile wireless high speed gateway. for internet ONLY. Speeds seemed to vary from 16 to 80 to 115 mbps. X-box seemed to glitch big time. WIFI to cell phones seemed to be sporadic. I have a very small house so distance shouldn't be the issue. The signal from whatever tower the signal was coming from was reading LOW - not the lowest reading, but LOW. I was trying to get rid of Xfinity for cost reasons but unfortunately didn't seem to meet my expectations. Anyone give me some input with this situation

Instead of wasting money on cable I pay $50 for Internet no data cap in another $30 for three different streaming services, The money I save helps me pay for my Tesla, when you give this much money to Comcast you’re helping them, Love the government to make it less user-friendly and more expensive for everyone, you are not only screwing yourself but everyone else to, being for HD it’s like being for clean glasses at the restaurant additional charge, as long as they are pig’s they will be butchers,

This guy is only telling you part of the truth, which is the way things seem to work today. Do your own research about the cheapest way to watch what you want. Either way, everyone is being cheated because of the lack choice. Only a few companies have control of everything in this country, which lets them raise prices to whatever they want, and you pay for it.

I think his example shows that if you want more than bare bones, cable is cheaper. If you want just the bare minimum then buying internet and streaming is cheaper than getting the lowest cable package. So if cost is the main concern go bare bones. If content and higher speeds of internet are the main concerns, go with a bundle from a cable company.

The problem with the streaming option (and you didn’t mention this) is that the high speed internet is extra. And as much as the service itself (!)) The cable/satellite services provide the internet at reduced cost when bundled. You’ll still need them when streaming with a different provider and that cost has to be added in.

When I cancelled my cable TV some 5 years ago I bought a one time cost Roku Box and installed all the good free streaming apps that have come out. I pay $50 for my cable service and $0 on TV streaming. I've never gone over my data cap.

Unpopular opinion: I prefer satellite TV to streaming and cable. Cable TV is for super metropolitan areas only and streaming sucks with DSL. Don't get me started on Netflix originals.
Streaming is as much of a scam as cable TV.

Streaming sucks. I'll keep my Cable. Cable is faster, no streaming, Internet speeds are the best. People claim they cut the Cord, then they go back for Internet. Opps. Then add Streaming. All the sudden their up to $100 / month.

I just cut the cord recently. Got tired of paying $45/month for basic cable when I just bought an indoor antenna for free basic cable. Now I pay $34.99 for internet and $8.99 for Netflix. So happy I ripped up my final cable bill

If you want to use a service provider who is totally and constantly dishonest and deceptive AND who doesn't give a crap about you, then go with Xfinity or Direct TV. I like it simple. Apple TV or Amazon Fire Stick is DOPE!

The streaming services might be cheaper on their own, but to be able to have streaming in the first place, you have to purchase internet from a separate provider. Shouldn't that cost be factored into the streaming cost

Thanks for the very informative video. I’m 68 years old and I cut the cord about a year ago. I would never go back to regular TV ever again. It’s cheaper, better and has no commercials. Duh!

Way cheaper to stream where I live. Plus no contracts or box rental fees. I've literally purchased new windows and doors for my entire house with what I saved over two years time.

You can use free streaming services like pluto and tubi effectively dropping the price to nothing more than your internet bill. That's what my father does.
