Why “consider what you pay for internet per month as well”??? You’re going to pay that no matter what. It’s the difference between TV+internet and internet-only that you’re getting rid of.

From the beginning cord cutting ALWAYS worked. Not sure where you’re coming up with “only worked under these weird circumstances”.

Thank you for not calling it a “digital antenna”.

I asked. WOW kept my bill down until a couple years ago, when they just put their foot down for everyone and said “screw you”. My $70 bill had crept up to $88 over the years, but then they wanted to jack it all at once to $124. Not a chance in hell. I dropped pay TV like a hot potato, and put up an antenna. My DVR…

A sporty two-door version of the 7-Series is in the works

the very definition of “not enough money to do it right, but plenty of money to do it over”
