I cut the cord when Midco would not cut my rate enough; I so enjoyed turning in my equipment; they were then nice enough to discount my internet 2 years.) td577 also had a great post; spot on. My whole strategy is to keep my monthly streaming packages prices rock bottom low (only $20 for Sling + yearly Prime). I can usually get big discounts on Hulu through credit card/travel hacking deals. I often drop that as I can record a ton of content with Play On when I have it (not illegal to time shift content). Then, I use the big difference I would pay for cable versus streaming as the money I use to subscribe to MLB, NHL, and NFL package and the required DNS block. I still pay way less, have expanded sports content than most (at least at the professional level; I get every MLB, NHL, and NFL game live plus NFL network).
Yes, it takes more effort, but I own the equipment and have low monthly fees. I take back any comments that made you feel "looked down on" and ask forgiveness for that. My goal is to get people to at least consider it, and you have.
