I got rid of cable for 200 a month and now I pay around 100 for all streaming services and I honestly find tubi which is free to be the best. Feels like soon I will be paying 200 for streaming.

So much stuff on Roku, which is free, so I cant see paying much more for anything else. I have Prime cuz of my business account. I got Peacock for a year for $20 on black Friday. And with all that I cant keep up.

Tubi is awesome....you have to sift through a lot of BS, but there`s some great flicks on there.... IMO more movies than any other channel.

It is great, you definitely have to look thru 50 to find a good one. Most movies for sure.

Lots of stuff is available though other stuff - I get Netflix/Max paid for by FIOS, Disney+ paid for by Verizon Wireless.  If you can find someone with an .edu address, put it in Spotify, which drops the price to $5.99 but also adds in Hulu.....

Also, if you want to save, just do one service and binge, cancel, then do another.  That's the beauty of those services, can cancel/join anytime for no penalty.

Or say fuck it and spend 200 lol.

Only reason I know all this is I finally sat down recently and looked at all the shit I was paying for.

Yes. I cancelled cable, Netflix, Disney+, etc and stream all my content from the dark web using a service out of the UK.  I get local TV stations all across the USA and virtually any movie or TV series I want. 8)

So you roll around in the latest bmw/luxury cars but too cheap to fork out money for cable and streaming services?  ;D

You are talking about a guy who kidnaps dudes, and forces them to swim naked in his pool and solve a Rubik's cube, in order to survive.

But can you get Swedish TV-series from the 80s?

Their prices are cheaper if you save in Bitcoin and live on a BTC standard. But yes, if you are still using the USD to save then is more expensive.

Mine isn`t  really slow,but I had to upgrade it (pay more) twice to make it faster.

When I initially got it,there was no mention of "tokens" and it was running slow so I paid more on two occasions now it`s fine,and I told them it was the last penny they were getting out of me.

It seems that if you exceed your tokens,it runs slow or you get no service.....not really sure but they neglected to mention this in the beginning........to me anyway.


Kind of like a pre-paid phone when you exceed your minutes.........before that the service I used was akiin to dial-up.  :(

It seems that if you exceed our tokens,it runs slow or you get no service.....not really sure but they neglected to mention this in the beginning........to me anyway.

I'm cheap so I do most of my internet stuff from 2-8am where there are no limits.

I think I have too many services:

Netflix, HBO MAX, paramount, discovery +, peacock, shudder, Disney, Hulu, Prime, MGM+ and AppleTV.

But I don’t have cable because don’t like what’s normally on tv.
