(Aug 2018) Who is your internet/cable provider?

Comcast for Business... because no data caps and competent support when required. The cost is about the same of normal Comcast, but with far more perks. I don't have many options, it is either Comcast, Comcast for Business, and AT&T DSL which has max upload of 1.5mpbs.

 

YouTube TV is amazing. Unlimited DVR and on-demand, that you can access from anywhere.

 

I use DirecTV Now. Cheapest prices currently for add-on premium channels. HBO $5/mo and Showtime $8/mo.

Also have ATT gigabit fiber $80/mo, but the intro rate is almost up for me. Going up $10 next month.

 

AT&T Fiber 300/300 (grandfathered plan. They only offer 100/100 or 1000/100 now)
DirecTV NOW (grandfathered $35 "GO BIG" plan) I also enjoy their $5 HBO and $8 showtime deal which is worth it just to watch "who is america" every Sunday

 

$50 for Spectrum 200/20.
No datacaps!

 

For DirectTv Now users: how is the HD picture quality?

 

Based on competition and what they are going to provide, what is the expected price for Verizon 5G ?

 

I signed up for directv now a couple times when they were giving out an appletv 4K for 3 months of prepaid service. It worked fine and the picture was great. They added DVR which was nice. I cancelled after my prepaid time was up. If I wanted to pay $35 a month for tv I’d just bundle my internet with Comcast and pay about the same price. It’s a fine service but I don’t see the cord cutting aspect at that price. I do Hulu and hbo for $13 plus Netflix. Reddit has all the mlb and nba you need. Stream it right to the appletv. Thanks directtv.

 

Two different things. Netflix is like $11 I believe.

 

I use U-Verse. It's about $110 for TV/Internet. Never have had any issues with it which is nice.

I've wanted to cut the cord, but until the Rockets/Astros are available on Youtube TV/Sling/etc., I probably won't. Not interested in watching on a laptop or fuzzy stream every time. I also don't feel like cutting the cord really saves that much money, unless I've been interpreting things incorrectly.

 

Do you have a data cap? I can't stand these data caps. I don't need 1GB speeds but I need more than 1TB. Unfortunately the cost of 100mbps and unlimited cost the same as 1GB/unlimited (90-100) bucks.

Is there any provider in HOuston that will give you unlimited data for less than 70 bucks?

 

AT&T Fiber Internet 1000 plan with no cap drops to $70/mo if you bundle with cable.

 

I started doing some research on it. i'm paying 60 now for 100/1tb. if I want to go to 1GB/unlmited it'll cost me 90 a month. OR i can bundle u-verse 180 channel (crappy selection) and get 100mb/unlimited for 80 total. i might just do that and not even use the TV service. Thanks for the tip.

 

Verizon FIOS - Gigabit Internet with custom tv (155 channels) and 2 cable cards for $91 a month. (Also includes phone but I don’t use it)

 

Bump

I've had U-verse for a decade and the loyalty team gives me great promotions each year. Unfortunately, U-verse is at capacity in the area I'm moving to, so I have to switch unless I let them put me on Direct TV. Any recommendations? I was paying $170 for the U450 TV/Internet/Phone package.

 

Spectrum.

 

Anyone using Verizon 5g Home?
