I quit comcast when my bill reached $312,00 a month. A Comcast representative said that all of my discounts had expired. I purchased my own cable modem and seperate router, boughtr a Roku ultimate and signed on with YouTube TV. I still pay comcast $73.00 a month for the line to the modum but after three months, I broke even. Now I save every month (about $125.00). I chose to have all of the premium channels and the comcast modem line averages out to 72 Mbps. I have a better picture and sound than before. I was reluctant to cut the cable but am glad that I did so.

We have an use NShosting.com ($70/3 months). The actual app on the TV is "SOPlayer". Comes out of Canada so US news is based in Detroit. Tons of US and Canada channels though the ads are usually Canada based. Since this is internet based, we use an Amazon Firestick which allows us the portability and use it here or in upstate NY.

I use Youtube TV and enjoy it very much. I also watch a lot of Youtube (different from Youtube TV)
If you have a problem with buffering my problems went away when I purchased my own modem and took back my rental modem. Big difference and it pays for itself in a few months.

Youtube TV will give you your local channels and most major cable networks plus unlimited cloud recording that keeps recordings for one year. Also can operate on 5 devices(TV, Smart Phone, Computer & pad) at the same time both regular programing and recorded programing.

Youtube is loaded with all sorts of videos ---- How to videos, sports information videos follow your favorite teams, concert videos, old TV videos and current TV videos. No matter what your interest is all you need to do is search it and learn things of interest. If you are interested in cutting the cord there is a ton of information on this topic. I have learned a lot about cleaning up my firestick and how to maintain my modem to get the maximum performance for my streaming.

Have Comcast for internet only. Use a Amazon Firestick with Amazon Prime. Run YouTube TV and YouTube Premium through the Firestick. Both are great. Upgrade YouTube to Premium is a must, since they started to interrupt and jam commercials into the program every 10 minutes or so. Plus, you get added programming with Premium. I also have a roof antenna for those days when nothing else works, or when I'm just in the mood for some bible thumping or need to brush up on my Spanish.

I use Century Link for internet ($45/mo) and AATV (ALL Access TV) which has Everything!! Including the sports channels, movies, all my channels, etc for $45/mo (after purchasing box). Couldn't be happier!

Respectfully, I disagree. We have Centurylink internet, YouTube TV, HULU, Netflix, and Amazon Prime free (because we are prime members for shopping). Our monthly bill is under $110 including internet. That's much cheaper than cable, and I don't have to deal with customer service or annual hassles of price increases. It works like a charm. FYI, to those who spend $$ on high speed internet, all you need to stream movies and TV is 25mbs. Internet companies rarely tell you that, but that's all we have and zero problems.

Kinda like driving around town looking for the gas station which is a penny cheaper. Your tank holds 18 gallons and you’ve saved 18 cents. But the game is fun to some.
Just don’t do it with healthcare

I am The Villages firestick guy. If you want to cut cable let me know

[Out&Proud]

I have Apple TV to connect to my Xfinity WiFi and then mostly use YouTube TV for frequently watched Shows. Did I overspend? Can I connect to my WiFi with just YouTube TV?

I am single and use the lowest bandwidth and committed to 1 year. I have five devices but only one on at a time. You will need more bandwidth if you have more than one tv running at the same time. I get 4K movies with no problem.

[jedalton]

yes, you can connect to you tube with your wi fi and just use you tube

Do you think that you really need 72 mbs? I have 25 mbs and can comfortably stream on 2 TVs while texting or browsing the web among other things. Each stream averages 6 mbs so I could probably run 3 streams with room to spare. You could possibly save some money by going with a plan with a bit less speed.
