Same here. I miss regular TV like a migraine.
After ditching then, when you see them somewhere else, the commercials and laugh tracks sound like braying jack asses.

I cut mine 4 years ago. I had high speed internet already for $55.00/month and my dish that was running $105.00/month. Started streaming old movies and tv shows through a $9.00 a month Netflix and since we have an Amazon account use it as well. Installed a digital antennae for $99.00.

So I have been banking that dish money for 3 years now minus the Netflix and $100/year Amazon. Plus the Dish packages suck anyway offering channels that I would never ever want to watch.

You should check out Sling TV. You can get all those channels for $25/ month. Do it now while it’s still cheap.

I cut the cord 7 years ago - nev er looked back.

I get everything I want to see - including FOX news- FREE on line - (thru’ TVPC - ALL channels)

or FOX also live on YouTube.

7 years x’s @ $100 month = saved over $8,000.00

"We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness. You maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion. So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I am speaking to you now. Turn them off!"

I wish I could cut cable but my TV is an older TV that does not allow streaming. I hope to get a job (still haven’t got one) and save to afford a new modern TV that I can down stream from my modem.

A quick check indicated they don't have Discovery or Destination America channels. I stopped at that point.

I hear ya. I have never had a cable/sat bill either. It's been so long since i tuned in to broadcast i forgot when it was, at least two decades.

TV is just plain bad for you! When visiting with friends I always ask them to turn it off, or leave. I can literally feel my IQ being sucked out by it.

Yes, I’ve never had cable and made the decision to cut the TV connection about twenty years ago ... because I refuse to give any support to the pedos, the degenerates, and champagne socialists who run the networks. Never regretted it. If that means I miss out on a few shows and sports events that I would like to watch, then so be it.

The cable company wrings money out of me by claiming it won’t be any cheaper just to have internet alone w/o cable.

They have told me the same. Comcast.

Cutting the cable usually means no internetz too. Unless you go unlimited data on your cell or pay big bucks on a hotspot.

I cut the cord years ago. I’m a healthier person for it. I am no longer a hypochondriac watching all of those drug ads. Just those will make you sick if you weren’t already.

"Been with charter for eons, finally cut the(TV)part 3 years ago, but internet keeps going up and up...currently paying $55 month for 60M service."

I have charter also. Right now I am paying $44.99 (first year) after that they told me it would be $60.

Before I went with Charter I was using an Internet Cell tower that was only $14.95 month. It fit my needs, but my grandson is living with us now and he needed faster speed for his games.

"$8 for Netflix? I pay $12.95."

Do you possibly have the mail delivery also? If so that is probably why it costs more.

Wish I could cut mine. It costs more than my monthly grocery bill. Unfortunately, my 96 year old mom needs it..she is home alone all day while I am at work, not very mobile and can’t see wel, so she uses it extensively. I hate it.

If you cut cable, how are you getting internet service?

Wireless internet.

You must have a wi-fi provider in your area, no?

I'm in the boonies and we have good wi-fi service, though it'll run you fifty or sixty bucks for the highest speeds.
