Need advice on cutting cable cost.

My last bill from Att was $215...sick of paying that much to watch only a few shows. I dont want to cut the cord from cable entirely. I would like to keep basic cable and internet, but still be able to watch the shows I like on HBO and showtime. I`m already a netflix subscriber, any other suggestions ? Can you buy season passes for most of the shows on HBO and Showtime?



Thanks!

On ATT, at least the last time I checked, they are still in the dark ages with a 250gb bandwidth limit regardless what you pay.

Outside Netflix I won't even consider these pay services until they offer netflix style settings. I'm tired of being forced to watch HD just because my network speed can handle it.
Should be complaining about you internet service data caps, not the content service providers.

I cannot imagine dealing with data caps. You all need to be fighting them in court with that as an area/state or go to your governor. Data is soo cheap, it is like text, it costs them fractions on the cent.

They make furniture stores cry on their profit margin on high speed internet.

Welp, all of those who would never buy SlingTV because it is missing the fox channels, now can look at Playstation Vue. $40/month gets you both FS1, FS2, ESPN and Espn2 and all the national channels owned by VIacom, Turner, Fox and Disney. While more expensive than SlingTV, I think it has a better value since it has more channels and potentially locals. The only thing I can see it needing is an option for HBO Go, but HBO Now kinda solves that.

All in all, I was paying ~$90 for the equivelant package from DirecTV.

BBC broadcasts their shows on their website. To view them, the website must perceive that you live in the BBC broadcast area.

So Sling now has multiple device streaming and FS1. However, in the most "only Sling would **** this up" way possible they have separated it from the base package. So you now have two base packages to choose from. Fox channels and multistreaming in one and ESPN in the other. That is reeruned.

I wasn't aware home internet service providers even had data caps anymore.

What's the purpose of blazing fast speeds, so you can reach your limit in 5 minutes?

Thanks for posting this. I missed that they added the option. ESPN is nearly useless this time of year to me, so I'm good with missing it for the Fox channels for now.

ISP's make a killing off the data. It's super cheap and there is no reason outside profiteering to implement caps.
