AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

[Jimbo]

Yeah, data caps are an issue for many. For me I had to bump up my level to get enough data to support full time streaming. Cost was $10/month more.

EDIT: But for me streaming gives me more flexibility and at a lower cost overall. Not as significant as I had initially thought it would because of what I ended up subbing to.

I would also have to figure out how to watch all the College and NFL games I currently do ...

Sports are a bit of a bugaboo for streaming, that will change over time I suspect. If I were a big sports fan, or actually if I cared at all about sports, I'd still be on cable or sat.

I can't blame you for that. If that is what you watch, the options are somewhat limited.

I watch more than that, but it is a requirement. (seeing my teams are not the home team)

Vs, having all them in one location and having to hunt for the game each week, I'll stick with what I have, Thank you.
It's worked reliably for the last 20 years for me now.

Cost wouldn't be that great of a savings for me.

When I was working it would have been a negative move at it would cost me MUCH more than I was paying.

Sorry. Well below 20 billion. They only paid 49 billion 5 years ago.

Pay me $20B and I'll take it.

They might get more if they write a book called "How to destroy a great satellite TV service in less then 5 years".
