Article: Traditional TV Providers No Longer Cutting Deals to Keep Customers

[Radioguy41]

I pay Dish $133.46/month.
I pay FIOS $113.46/month for Internet and land line.

Yikes!

Internet - $30 month (25Gb)
Dish - $59.39 month (Flex w/add-ons)
Consumer Cellular Land Line - $15 month (add-on to cell phone package)
-------------------------------------------------------
Total - $104.39

OTA = free
FTA = free
Youtube TV through employer = free

My total cost for TV: $0

 

[Radioguy41]

Yep, got those too.

Yeah, that shocked me too.

Internet - $50 month (100/100)
Dish - $57.34 (Welcome)
Google Voice w/ Obi200 - $0 (after initial hardware investment - no 911 service FWIW)
---------------------------------------------------
Total - $107.34

Thing is, I'd like to cut that by about $30, so I can subscribe to more streaming services without paying any more. The "land line" is really just a backup for when Wi-fi calling craps out on our cell phones, which hasn't happened since we switched to AT&T Prepaid.

Here's what I'm currently paying:

YouTube TV: $50/mo.
Internet (100Mbps): $60/mo.
Phone (Ooma): $14.50/mo. (incl. premium phone features for my home-based business)

Total: $124.50

When I cut the cord three years ago, my three-way bundle (before negotiated discount) was around $210.00 and that only included one 2-tuner DVR (no other boxes or room connections).
Now, I'm guessing I would be paying at least $225 as my cable company has since tacked on broadcast and RSN fees ($17/mo. combined).
