I am often very sarcastic, but, actually, in this case, I am serious. Including taxes, I'm paying under $100/mo for cable and internet. I can't get that streaming because I can't find cheap, reliable internet. Someone said you can get a $20/month basic internet plan from Xfinity, but they told me 2 years ago that internet-only was $60/month minimum, $75 for Blast.My sarcasm meter may be off, but this IS sarcasm, right? I've never seen the words money-saving cable used together...lol!
Wait, you can get an add-on package as part of the free trial?2nd ever Fubo free trial set-up. Ready for the game Saturday.
Holy cow, where do you live?Including taxes, I'm paying under $100/mo for cable and internet.
Western suburbsHoly cow, where do you live?
Well, I suppose I'd probably hang onto cable too if it was the cheaper alternative.Western suburbs
When my freshman-year roommate moved to the Bay Area he told me (at 23) that the best thing ever was rolling out of bed at 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning and watching the first NFL game of the day. This is a guy who, when we lived in Snyder Hall, would regularly watch college hoops on ESPN from 11 a.m. Saturday until 2 a.m. Sunday every winter weekend.More than anything else, I'd like the DIA to stop scheduling games that Illini fans can't get watch through reasonable methods.

It's kind of crazy how the promise of internet based subscription service was supposed to consolidate and drive down entertainment media costs to the customer, but has done the opposite as every content creator has now decided to release their own subscription based streaming platform.Well, I suppose I'd probably hang onto cable too if it was the cheaper alternative.
I was paying Comcast like $200 a month when I finally decided enough was enough.
Though someone who subscribes to all of these streaming services these days is probably paying even more than that, it's crazy.
Wow, your rates are much better than mine! Though, if I got a basic plan, I think the family would revolt. Who am I kidding, they revolt anyway.I am often very sarcastic, but, actually, in this case, I am serious. Including taxes, I'm paying under $100/mo for cable and internet.

I don't have the basic plan. It's the 125+ channel plan (although that's might be basic to some, but with Netflix, Prime, Apple TV and Disney+, no one can complain here). You have to talk to retention to get a good deal. I was all ready to leave, had my Roku devices in place, and the retention guy came in with some money saving suggestions. I discussed it in the How to Watch the Illini thread in the basketball forum.Wow, your rates are much better than mine! Though, if I got a basic plan, I think the family would revolt.

Basic Fubo.Wait, you can get an add-on package as part of the free trial?
I didn't think that had the ACC Network, based on their website. I'd like to try Fubo if it has it.Basic Fubo.
Basic Fubo does not have ACCN.I didn't think that had the ACC Network, based on their website. I'd like to try Fubo if it has it.
Logical -- since we're playing another orange/blue team. Great choice!
YoutubeTV, Xfinity Internet and Mobile is $125/month. We use the chat feature with Xfinity to find an agent who has kept us at $40/year for internet for the last four years. Could not be more thankful we left AT&T. While Youtube's costs have gone up in the past year or so, it is still worth it, especially with carrying almost every channel possible for sports.I don't have the basic plan.

I love the look, but I wish we’d not mix and match … pick our “new look” for home/away and only alter it for huge games.Logical -- since we're playing another orange/blue team. Great choice!
As a socal resident, I gotta agree. However, 8 am on Saturday morning is too early, even for me.When my freshman-year roommate moved to the Bay Area he told me (at 23) that the best thing ever was rolling out of bed at 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning and watching the first NFL game of the day.

One of those "Be careful what you wish for" scenarios, although I get a whole lot of things on-demand with no commercials so it's also all good.Well, I suppose I'd probably hang onto cable too if it was the cheaper alternative.

Got it here.Basic Fubo does not have ACCN.
At least not in Chicago.
That's the plan, but we can't make wholesale changes to uniforms to really do that until next year. Have a feeling BB is getting close to what he wants at home OBO away could be a little different and could be all white OWO with blue accents. We will see.I love the look, but I wish we’d not mix and match … pick our “new look” for home/away and only alter it for huge games.
