I once paid $200 dollars a month for basic cable and internet. Just a receiver and cable modem, no DVR or premium channels. THat's why i don't watch tv.

I pay $205 for digital cable with a Showtime package. My electric, gas and water bills COMBINED sometimes is less than that a month.

I got Youtube TV for Sunday Ticket but also enabled me to still watch ESPN. If the dispute isn't resolved soon I'll ditch Spectrum as we're empty nesters now and I mainly kept cable for sports.

Being down here in WV, I only have Optimum. And were I live , satellite is out, too many trees. And when I’m at my cabin, I use a ROKU. So far it has worked great

Spectrums response to the issue is a whooping 7 day free trial to FUBU. May have been a good offer if it was free trial until the issue is resolved. Spectrum says they are determined to keep our costs down yet I am missing around 9 channels they used to pay for and now don't with no price decrease. Both sides are just greedy. I am a hair away from cutting off the tv portion of my service and splitting YouTube TV with my brother who already has it.

The ESPN channels are back on with Spectrum again as of today for whatever it's worth.

In addition subscribers of the select tv channel package or higher will now get Disney+ and ESPN+ streaming services as part of the deal. I'll go out on a limb and say I expect an increase from Spectrum shortly.

They don’t sneak anything. They just say pay more and you do. No choice

Monopolies own a lot fannies in this country. When AT&T merged with DirecTV they threw away some of the packages their previous customer service (before the merge) had provided to help keep their retention rates up. We called and asked what happened to the stations customer service gave us - they said that was before the merge and the new management hasn't agreed to any of those. In other words, long time members meant nothing to them. Even worse, those knuckleheads never got the bill right after the merge so it was my pleasure to cancel their ass! Apparently a lot of other people did too because they lost control of the NFL Sunday Ticket. I went to the sports bar that aired the games for the Browns Backers club in my area. When you think about it, that's a lot of people in our fanbase watching only 1 NFL Sunday Ticket Customer's feed (at the bar & grill). I'll just make up a # here- let's say we had 50 fans watching a game at the place - do you know how many middle fingers that aimed at DirecTV?

Unfortunately, none of that ever beat the cost or convenience of watching games at home.
