Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Well where I was, they were going to charge me $220/mo to get the channels I wanted.  I opted for Youtube TV + Netflix + HBO for like $70/mo.  

I guess things may have changed in the last few years.

$100 includes taxes and fees

internet would go up, but probably not $35/month

Here in my neighborhood, Spectrum has the prices nailed down so that if you drop cable TV, your internet goes up, because you "unbundled." So adding Hulu Live or something like that, on top of the cranked-up internet service, just takes you right back where Spectrum already had it priced to begin with.

There's no fiber here, so I don't really have any options.

Similar here. I was actually in the Costco and the internet sales guy asked me what I paid for internet. I've done my research and there's nothing viable in my neighborhood other than Cox, but I wanted to see if maybe there was another service or something I'd missed. Because there are no alternatives, my 150 Mbps internet is just over $100/mo.

I told him the only alternative to Cox was AT&T DSL at 3 Mbps download. He was SURE that wasn't true, so he punched in my address.

Turns out I was wrong. The only alternative is AT&T DSL at 1.5 Mbps download. LOL. 

All that said, I've run the numbers. Bundling would reduce my costs slightly for the first year, but then they'd go up over promo cost and I'd be spending more than I am for my total service today. I'd have to sign a 2-year contract for it, and even though promo cost for the first of those years would be better, the total cost over 2 years would be higher than what I currently pay over 2 years, then spending significantly more each year thereafter. 

Of course, it's annoying because Hulu Live was $45/mo when I first got it a few years ago and it's already cranked up to $65/mo. There are tons of good streaming options if you only want streaming, but if you want live TV they've all been getting pricey. 

Spectrum is the only cable game in town where I live too, and we don't want the hassle of satellite services.  But we can get service via the mobile phone companies too for moderately cheaper, with significantly faster up/down speeds (not that there's anything wrong with the speed we currently have).  Talked to a buddy who has been doing this for the past few months and he claims no problems with service interruption, connection, etc.  We may soon switch to that.  

Spectrum internet here is about $80/mo.  Cell service is about $60, he said.  

We have Dish here, it's part of my HOA along with cable, so I don't pay it separately, which leaves me no choice.  The Dish thing of course drops when it's cloudy.

My HOA looks high but at least it includes a lot.

The best thing about Peacock is that it contains the WWE Network. I don't get very nostalgic about things from when I was a kid - don't really feel much watching old cartoons. But being able to turn on old episodes of WWF Primetime and hear Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan announcing - heck yes.

BBC Culture polled 206 TV experts from 43 countries in order to find the greatest TV of the 21st Century – here’s the top 100

In recent years, BBC Culture has conducted an annual poll of film critics, experts and industry figures from around the world to decide on the greatest films in a particular category: you may have come across our 100 greatest films directed by women list in 2019 and our 100 greatest non-English language films in 2018, among others. However, this year, it felt about time that we turned our attention to another art form: television. That's in part because TV has played such a crucial role in many of our lives over the past 18 months, when we have relied on it for information, entertainment, solace and inspiration in equal measure.
