Im probably the last dumbass here that kept holding on to traditional cable but I finally did it. I have been a customer of Charter spectrum for decades and generally liked their service,.. but man,......they just keep creeping up and up in price to the point where now you just feel screwed over . Time to go. I will continue on with their wifi service though.
Additional info..... I also have the free stuff that anyone can get like Pluto, Roku, Tubi, Peacock, and IMDB. And my paid Prime video membership. I mean really,....how much tv can you watch. Honestly,....if I were a single guy,....I wouldnt have cable or a cable alternative at all, the free stuff combined with the free network tv would be PLENTY enuff.
So,....here is what I did in my search for a cable replacement. First,....I kept my cable while I was trying other alternatives so that no matter what happened I would have good reliable service. Then I tried 2 of the top three alternatives before setting on one. I looked up the ratings on each and also the type of programming that came with it.
Tried YOUTUBE TV for a month as it was highly rated. Honestly,....didnt like it that much at all. VERY glitchy IMO. Lots of times the picture would freeze up, buffer. If it would have been something where it was every now and then I would have been ok with it,....but it wasnt......it was just a little too much for my liking.
Next up.....FUBO TV,...The techies that rate this stuff all had them at the top, or near the top. They have 2 packages, one is like 62 a month, the other is like 70 a month. One thing that drew me to FUBO is it is really sports heavy and I am very much into sports. Even in the 62 a month version which is the one I chose, came with espn 1 and 2 , the NFL Network, and the Big 10 network. Those are all MUSTS for me. It also has a VERY nice variety of other channels in its lineup so you get plenty of movies, shows, and docs. I have like 50, 52 channels somewhere in that range and just about all are channels that I would watch. Plus all my local channels as well. You also have the ability to pause and record/rewind live tv.
How does it perform? IMO....EXCELLENT. Once in a blue moon it will freeze and buffer for a quick second but VERY rarely. Might happen for me once every couple days or so for 10 seconds instead of 10 times a day like I had with YOUTUBETV.
My conclusion? FUBO is the way to go. Its reliable, has a great channel lineup, and the price is right in there where it should be. Bye bye cable.
Hope this helps someone........
