I don't get how cutting the cord is any cheaper. You still need internet ($$) and still need streaming services ($$). When you add everything together it doesn't seem like you are saving very much.

At least I'm my case I pay $50/ month for fios internet only, and paid $105 or so with cable (and that was lowest possible tier). And had Netflix and Amazon in addition anyway, since that's better shows! Sometimes pay for Hulu or peacock in addition, which might not have done with cable, but it's fairly minor. We cut the cord when we realized we hadn't turn the cable box on in over 7 months. I can't watch "live" TV", on demand or nothing..

with the quick math it' saves about 100$ monthly, so dunno just running the numbers.

You know that's a good question, maybe if I take a look at Comcast and see what extras I can remove.
