I have Spectrum. Oddly enough I am totally satisfied with quality and customer service. It is the cost that bites. Tried the various internet TV services. Wife objected so for a happy life, well you know the drill.

Pay TV is not the same as cable?

“with DirecTV accounting for 778,000 alone in its fifth straight quarter of net losses”
Good, Direct TV are thieves and deserve every bit of this. What do they all expect when they promote leftist ideology and propaganda garbage.

I quit cable/satellite several years ago. I refuse to pay for CNN, MSNBC, the homosexual channel, etc. Im sure everyone knows this by now, but you dont have to watch them, youre still paying for and supporting them.

Problem is, streaming services are becoming expensive too, and there is hardly anything free, other than OTA, which is spotty and not very clear. And, you don't get the local channels with streaming. Fact and problem is that, the streaming services come via the same providers as cable.
I gave up trying to make do with the streaming and OTA antennas, and came back to cable. Maybe someday somebody will make streaming worthwhile and inexpensive.

DirecTV’s on line payments went to hell after ATT bought them out. I can’t even get the ATT web page to open.

Their non fixed “extortion package per customer scam” is out of hand.

I have Comcast super basic (local channels) and internet. $70 a month for three TV's. I have built in Roku on my TV and between
Pluto TV (free) and YouTube there is always something on to watch.

Same here. Have Spectrum and a recorder. Keeps my wife happy otherwise it would be gone.

We are into our third year of a cut cable/Comcast. Our new Comcast Business costs a little over $100/month, plus 15$/mo for Acorn and 2 other channels. During baseball season, we subscribe to Sling Blue and don’t pay ESPN, Fox, ABC nor Disney. Sling Blue costs us $25/month.
Comcast business internet is faster and appears to be more reliable than the old internet in the regular comcast internet.
Two neighbors with the same old Comcast system, we used to have are paying $350/month with increases every 6 months.
We donate $5/month via our Prime to PBS and get great shows/choices and a $60/year deduction.
How ever, this is too complicated or too much change for so many. They had rather bitch about the high costs of cable and bad programming. So don’t try it!

Amazing isn’t it?
” Im sure everyone knows this by now, but you dont have to watch them, youre still paying for and supporting them.”
They had rather bitch, moan and send hundreds of $’s to our sworn enemies each month.

I had the same thing through Spectrum: 40 stations, including local, and the rest were junk. Was paying $68 per month. Made up for some of the other channels by using Netflix and Pluto and another similar service. Pluto is basically junk; unless they've improved in the last year. YouTube is a pay service, and the free stuff from it is not worth bothering with.
The way I keep my prices 'reasonable' is by threatening to quit, and if 'they' don't give me what I want, I switch to the other service (Frontier) for another year of lower prices. I would still prefer to pay nothing, but the 'nothing' services out there end up being worthless.
