Default Cutting the Cord

First thing I did was get T-Mobile Home Internet.Look here Unlimited High-Speed 5G Home Internet Service Plans | T-Mobile 5G Home Internet
$50.00 includes tax / month

Next I purchased a ROKU Streaming device on Amazon Amazon.com
$29.00 one time (if you have a smart TV you may not need ROKU just go to the App store and download an APP. I got the device because the remote works everything and is easy to understand how to use it.


Then I got youtube TV $64.99 / month for 85+ channels for the base added ALL the premium channels for about $50.00 / month.I also have Prime, Netflix & Britbox. (Important note: ROKU does not have the Youtube TV app. You have to go to Youtube then go left & down to the bottom to find YouTube TV.

YouTube TV - Watch & DVR Live Sports, Shows & News

There are other services available like Sling, Hulu, Fubu and others. I have been told FUBU is the best for sports.

Finally, I did all this about 2 weeks before I cancelled Xfinity. I wanted to make sure everything worked before I turned in all the Xfinity stuff. We have been using this set up for about 2 months with no problems. I only have installed on 2 of 5 TVs. I will do the others eventually.
