I believe most of the cost of "cable" television is the cost of programming (what ESPN, Discovery, etc. charge the "cable" providers for their programming). There really isn't any competition between "cable" TV providers as they are all most likely charged the same by ESPN, Discovery, etc. and most provide a "package" of channels, many of which you probably don't want but are forced to pay for. If you want to reduce your costs, find sources for just the programming you are interested in. This sort of a la carte approach is becoming more common. I use an over-the-air antenna to pull in the channels from Orlando and supplement with Netflix and Amazon Prime via Roku boxes. I cut the cord 7 years ago and haven't looked back. If you go the Kodi player route you may want to think about using a VPN.
