Anyone on here cut their cable and only use internet?
I plan on doing it soon as Spectrums tv prices are outrageous. I'm just wondering what you guys do about watching TV, I don't really care but my parents do so I'm looking for options for them.

I'm hearin good things about PlayStation Vue but I wanna hear it from some of you guys if you've used it.

You could just cut down your subscriptions if you have any.

I had HBO, Showtime and Starz but i cut them because i never watched them and it saved me like 150$ a month. If you just get basic cable it should be really be really cheap.

The only way to know is to call your cable provider.

I used to have Sky TV which was 40 quid amount for absolute shite so I quit it june last year picked myself up a combo box and only costs 50 a year with all channels.


I also get free internet which is a plus.

100% agree did the same and now I only pay £25 a month for internet, have over 250 TV channels which I don't pay for too.

Besides dealing with your parents wanting to watch tv... I've only had Internet for a good 2 years or so now. I used to watch Netflix but now I just do twitch or youtube. Kind of a faze until I get bored. I'm sure their are ways to get TV but too lazy to find out. But good luck to you if you do switch. I don't think I'll ever get cable due to it being quite expensive for how much I won't use it.

I rent and I'm not sure if the cable even works because I just leech my friends Netflix, Hulu and HBO. So I never bothered to ask my landlords about the cable.
