Every year more and more people are falling their cable subscriptions to save money. Plus they're turning rather to cable cutting streaming services. However, are such streaming services really worth it? We decided to find out by cutting out our cable service for three weeks to check out the flowing and live TV services that are advertised to cord cutters. Here Is What we discovered:
You Can Find Plenty Of Fees
We had to pay for a fee as a way to escape our cable bundle package that we did not even know we're in. And then we had to pay for a commission each month for just needing online service. And we also had to pay a regular fee to upgrade our Internet speed so as to be in a position to run the live TV streaming services which we wanted to use. So right off the bat, we spend hundreds of dollars . However, then we wanted to see if it'd be well worth it in the ending so we kept moving.
The Costs Add Up Fast
The small prices for services such as Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime add up very quickly to a massive cost monthly. In an average of $12 per service should you pay monthly and flow on greater than one device the cost of the significant streaming services independently be more expensive than cable TV every month. Plus in addition to the price of the streaming solutions, there's the cost of adding live TV streaming companies. Hulu currently includes a mixture of live and streaming TV services but that starts at $40 a month. Sling TV, Direct TV Nowadays along with additional services are about $25-45 monthly or more. So when you really look at the expenditures of all the services together you wind up paying a great deal more than you'd cover a basic satellite tv subscription.
Poor-quality
Hulu's live television interface has been a absolute nightmare to use. And Sling television wound up streaming and lagging through the majority of the most popular shows we all wanted to see since they aired on live television so that we did not get to watch them. There also was no top quality 4K grade video and the noise wasn't great on any of the services that we tried. When you factor in the frustration and annoyances of dealing with poor quality and badly designed user interfaces on several of the streaming platforms they're actually not so appealing.
The Verdict
After 3 weeks we were pleased to go back to cable TV. And also our cable provider offered us a excellent deal in order to add satellite tv service again. We still have Netflix, Hulu, along with Amazon Prime and watch them often with a Fire TV stick however, the streaming live television proved to be a entire bust and that I wouldn't recommend it unless you are perhaps not really a major fan of TV. If you only occasionally watch television a live-streaming agency might be all that you need but when you love television as we do then stick to cable.
