Even if you drop cable channels you will still need an internet provider which might also get you the great deal on your cell phone.

But comfort and inertia matter. If you are comfortable with what you have and any additional cost is worth it to you to not have to learn a new system then it makes sense to stick with what you have.
You are right. I forgot about HuluLive. That's also a very good streaming service.

I know several Villagers who were "comfortable" with cable but after a while the price kept going up and it was enough to get them to switch and stream. The change can be stressful at first but eventually these streaming services interfaces are not that much different than what the cable companies are offering making the transition easier. I also know many that don't want to switch their phones so they couldn't get the cheaper price with that bundle.

It can be a tough decision. I had one person who was tired of the slow and varying internet service from Xfinity which caused them to change.

I guess everyone has their own unique situation.
