As if cutting my internet costs in half from about $140/month to about $70/month wasn’t enough, I finally cut the cable cord (well, almost).

Many people nowdays get most of their viewing content over the internet, myself included.  My monthly cable bill was about $170/month, and I don’t think I had anything special like HBO or NFL channel.  That is steep.  So, I went to ‘basic’, which is basically local networks.  Xfinity still gets $70/month for that, which is highway robbery.

I did that a month ago, and I’m fairly happy, as things like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, XBMC, etc are all internet-served.  Same thing with many new movie releases.  You can stream them when they get released.  So, net savings per month for the ISP and the cable is about $170/month.  🙂

So, a fiber internet upgrade allowed me to rely more heavily on streamed content, and will save me about $2000 per year.  Not too bad.  😀
