Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

What's the point of cutting the cable then? By the time you pay for your internet service, Sling, Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and Netflix, you're right around $110 again. Don't forget HBO Now and other single channel options.

My total bill is $139 per month, and that is a bundle of Cable, Internet and Phone through Charter. I can get DirecTV with the channels I need for $19.99 a month for 12 months. Add that to my current internet cost of $$60 and I'm sitting at $80 a month and saving $60.
