My cable bill is insane, I am very close to cutting 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.

I cut cable, TV, and just watch off the Internet. I don’t miss the harpies on TV and all of the frustrating biased news.

The trend has been going on a while and has less to do with politics than economics. Families were economically squeezed and squeezed during the Obama years as OTT content like Netflix were hitting the mainstream. So people started cutting cable and HBO packages etc to save money.

Too many channels we watch (primarily my wife) for us to cut off cable TV. Most are not the usual suspects: Discovery, ID, History, Destination America, Travel, etc. No real options to acquire these channels without paying for some sort of service.

I was the first “cord cutter” before the term existed. I have never paid a cent for cable as I have not watched nor owned a TV in over 25 years. An iconoclast nonpareil.

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.

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.
