Cutting the Cord from Cable company

[68Charger]

kodi is not plug-and-play... lots of fiddling, customizing, upgrading constantly... Mobdro (for stations) and Terrarium TV (for on-demand shows) are much easier to maintain.

Price?

Mobdro and Terrarium TV are apps that run on multiple platforms, Google is your friend. They can even run on an Amazon Firestick.

Where I live, it's either Satellite, a 100' tower for antenna TV, or internet based.

This is what I'm trying to avoid.

I’m in the same boat. Looking to significantly downgrade our cable TV package, but still need high-speed internet, and it seems like Comcast has that market cornered.

We went with Qwest and have 60MB internet. We save about $200 a month having cut the cord.

We tried Qwest more than once (admittedly, not in several years), but the lines in my neighborhood are such crap, that our internet connection would just drop randomly, and otherwise was too slow to be of any use. Maybe I’ll see if things have changed.

Yeah. That's the downside to DSL. Even with a good line, if you're too far down the line, you suffer. We seem to be in a good spot. We've had outages at times, but to me, it doesn't seem much worse than Xfinity was.

Dropping comcast since we've relocated going with local cable co for internet service. Qwest/ century link based on people i know who work there is off the table. Been in areas where dish & direct tv are sporadic during anything other than clear skies, so a cable line is our first choice. I have roku & an azm firestick to bounce between, using the kids hulu account to see if that works. If not i will probably add a tv package to the account, maybe.

ETA: besides the local cable co, that offers month-month service, everyone else in the area want a 2 yr contract.

Roku, Hulu, Amazon and Netflix. We've got DSL, which has gotten a little more stable over the years. We also got a Mohu leaf antenna to help pull in the local digital channels.

Sometimes, internet is flaky, but it's less than 1/2 of what we were paying to those extortionistic $%#@@## at Comcast.
