I pay 180.00 a month for our programming.”   That’s just over two months worth.  Or I can pay a total of almost 4 grand to carry out the contract. 420.00 doesn’t look so bad.

But if you cut the cord, do you still get 4k video?

I’d have more content available through amazon Disney+ Netflix Hulu (which we currently have all those too).  4K broadcasts are very few and far between.  Last thing I saw broadcasted in 4K was the super bowl

As long as whatever source you are streaming from and your bandwidth can handle it. Sure.

Xfinity just got me for another 2 years. ~$200/month for most cable channels, including showtime and GIGABIT internet. Hell AT&T was charging $300 just for that internet speed. I had to change network cards in my laptop and desktop to take advantage of the newfound bandwidth.

I got art’s gigabit internet just weeks after dug up the neighborhood.   Paid 90/ month and to this day the bill is a flat 90.  And that’s been a few years now.  Said they would only change if I switch companies or downgrade my service.  Otherwise I’m grandfathered in on the price.
