we end up paying more overall
A basic Fios TV package is $75/month today.
Most streaming services are around $20-$30/month and allow month-to-month plans.
You can fairly easily rotate among 4-5 services, using 2-3 at a time, to keep costs lower than with traditional cable. This works pretty well if you have non-specific TV interests. Where they really get you is with sports - that market is super fragmented and getting most of NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB can cost a fortune.
- garciasn 3y agoFIOS is only available in limited areas of 9 states. It's not exactly widely available and should not be used as evidence to the contrary of this. If we're using anecdotal evidence, the only Internet I have available to me at my summer home is $110/month 25/2 DSL, without TV. That said, you are spot on, because we are no longer tied into long contracts you can absolutely swap in and out. The problem is that they carry primarily self-created content which, IMO, is far less attractive than what the main networks were able to push out previously which further degrades the usefulness of the a la carte model.
