Be careful with Fubo though as they don't have TBS (or TNT), which means you'll need another way to watch the MLB playoffs when the time comes.

I was going to switch from DirecTV Stream but that's a big issue.

This was my only hang-up with Fubo.  Going to miss a lot of March Madness unless I get Sling for a few weeks.  I'll deal with the playoffs when I have to cross that bridge.

I did it. I cut the cord. 

I couldn't justify paying $253 every single month anymore for a service that I only use for MASN. To add salt to that wound, they were going to charge me more money eventually! 

Here's what I did -

I started talking to an Xfinity rep on Reddit. Yes, Reddit. They have a whole subreddit that has Xfinity reps as mods. I sent them mod mail and began the process. Told them I wanted to bring my own gateway and don't want their equipment anymore. They gave me a link to see which aftermarket gateways were compatible with their service. 

I bought the Arris G36 modem/router. Keep in mind that Xfinity charges $15 a month, every month, for as long as you use their gateway. I paid $300 for it and the Geek Squad protection plan. It will have paid for itself in 20 months. I've had the same Xfinity gateway for 6 years now. I'll save you the math - I've spent around $900 renting that gateway. Never. Again.

Once I got my new gateway online with current service, I reached out to that reddit team again. They offered me their Superfast tier for $95 a month at speeds up to 800 Mbps. I agreed to paperless billing and autopay, which reduced my bill to $85 INCLUDING fees and taxes. They were very upfront. It's over. I cut it. 

I'm saving $168 a month. I checked the upfront price for MLB Tv for the whole year and its $150. I'm going to buy that package and STILL save $18 this month. I'll figure out a VPN before the season starts. 

If you're considering it, do it. It's very freeing. I'm saving $2016 a year by getting rid of that garbage.

Just realized tonight that Max will be carrying the NCaA tourney.  So, I’m good to go. By the time the playoffs come around, I switch back to YoutubeTV.

Im Going to see how I like Fubo..free week trial and the first month is $20 less.

Wowie I really need to audit my streaming services subscriptions.

Peacock? Nah.

Paramount Plus? Meh, no more Yellowstone. 

HBO Max? Finished Curb… nah.

Disney Plus? Kids.

Netflix? Man I friggin hate Netflix. They raise their prices every 73 seconds.

Direct TV stream? MASN.

I could theoretically cut down to Disney (whom I loathe as an organization, but their hooks are sunk into the kids.) and DTV.

Our cell phone plan gives us Disney, Hulu and ESPN+ for free.

Paramount is amazing so many great shows on there (seems like all are Sheridan shows).

Does the Fubo have MASn yet or if not when do they officially get it.  I want to see if I get it in my area before I do the trial.
