    The cyber sleuths were right back in 2006 when adelphia was sold to xfinity/comcast. They said prices will rise with hidden fees. I’ve saved 7500 bucks since 2019. I ditched Comcast and went with a local fiber company. The sports and franchise fees with one cable box rental is almost the cost of YTTY. Cable tv shouldn’t be like a car payment.

      I cut the cord 15 years ago for the antenna. Actually a hurricane knocked over my oak tree and broke my att uverse along with my phone line and I went and bought me an outside antenna and that was the beginning of FREEDOME. I then bought internet for $50/month with some over the air cell tower company that worked pretty good. Sprint then bought them out and cancelled the service. Too many people were great internet for cheap and they couldn’t stand it. lol I still don’t pay for anything else except internet.

    I couldn’t think of a more deserving company to die out than Spectrum! However, in a lot of areas (mine included) they are pretty much the only company that offers decent high speed internet and it’s dependable. We have dsl but it’s max speed is 2 mbps and in places 40 mbps. My residence is 4 mbps. T-Mobile is expanding here but their network is extremely congested here and they are adding more towers but it takes time. Verizon is adding more towers too. As soon as T-mobile starts to offer their home internet I will be changing to them.

    Streaming gave non-sports viewers a welcome escape from cable bill surcharges which forced customers to subsidize sports teams & regional sports networks.
    Leagues will try to get around that by pursuing deals with non-sports streamers (like Netflix).
    Also: Years ago, pro & college leagues were seasonal & worked together to stay out of each other's way. Not anymore. They are now in direct competition - and in competition with endless online options.

Besides the Lakers i'd want to see the Laker womens basketball too along with some UCLA sports and teams. Those are about all i watch. Personally i think dropping Spectrum would cost me more with streaming services and couldn't see what i really want to see. Plus i don't like the ads and the only one i pay for is prime video (#2.99) for no ads. Even if i added youtube plus or whatever it's called i'd be paying the same as Cable . Just my opinion

    I wish all these streaming services and cable services would stop trying to slice up the same limited number of sports (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey). Their obsession with those few drives up the price, and they abandon some of the other lesser known sports that had small but dedicated audiences. And in between the actual games they have an endless number of shows giving mindless banter commentary on match-ups, odds on games, match-ups, rivalries, etc. That's a bit 'Nope' from me.

Depending on what you like to watch, you could have a world of choices for the price of internet with an antenna for locals and free streamers such as Tubi and Pluto. If you like some of the cable channels there are services such as Philo with very low cost (like $25 a month) access to everything but sports and news. And even if you subscribed to the major pay streaming services it would be less than CZcams TV, much less cable.
