Piracy coming back brehs don't fret. This per app pricing sucks like a motherfukker and it's time to upgrade that internet, get a mesh system, and run off with the bag... again.

Also consider starting to pool logins with your people and getting VPNs

It was a joke!
I don't see the appeal of TV these days, let alone buying cable

I just pirate movies and watch weird shyt on Tubi/youtube

IPTV >>>>> Cable until they finally shut it down. Then I might consider some other option.

nikka just started making up shyt lol. The only ones $50+ are live tv. Paramount+Showtime is $12, you can get starz for $3 for $3 months whenever there's something on there you wanna watch, shudder is $50 a year if you like horror, peacock you can get for $20 a year depending on deals, can get HBOMax through AT&T

Even adding these all up, it's still cheaper than Internet+cable..

personally, I'm paying for youtube tv to watch sports with some family members, so only $25 a month. I have apple TV+ for $10 and I pay $140 a year for disney plus.

I traded all my services for hulu (no ads), netflix (no ads), prime (with paramount+ and starz), and hbo max.

so my total cost per month is around $47 a month for all services.

internet for me is around $45 a month for 500mbps, no data cap.

when I had comcast, cable alone was costing me over $150 a month by itself NOT including internet, which had a 1.2TB data cap :pacspit:

I pay $59.99/month for my internet/cable thru Spectrum and I'm more than satisfied. Never cut the cord, I don't need all these streaming apps...

yeah, I still got a streaming site with everything on that. I can pull up whatever on there and cast it on apple tv with my ipad seamlessly in HD or 4K.

That's not a bad deal. I pay $70ish for gigabit fiber with no data caps that comes with HBO Max. No need for live TV for us. Only thing missing is news like MSNBC but I got a twitch stream that constantly shows it.

Streaming is way too convenient to go back from and has a much larger library of content
