As I mentioned on an earlier post, it isn't for everyone, besides, I switch ISPs 1-3 times a year, and cancel and resub Hulu, Stars, Showtime, and HBO once or twice a year, I probably spend less than two hours (a guess as I doubt it doesn't come close to that) maintaining my ATV entertainment and ISPs.Maybe it takes you a minute. Now multiply that by all the times you're claiming you'll cancel and then restart a service. It adds up and it's still work. Enjoy taking on a bunch of extra work in our already busy lives.
Compared ISP and streaming cost this post, I am saving over $1200 a year with very little effort (at least to me):
So a year ago I had
• Comcast double play for $180 (w/HBO)
• Netflix - $10
Total - $190
Now I have
•Comcast internet for $100
• playstation Vue for $55 (thanks price hike)
• HBO Now for $15
• Netflix for $10
Total - $180
Hooray! Cord cutting saved me $10!
I fully understand YMMV when it comes to savings, and that not everyone has access to multiple ISPs. Even if they do have ISP choices, they may not be able to get the same prices as I posted. I also understand that not everyone has the technical knowledge and skills to manage their entertainments cost like I do.
But, to say it takes too much time save potentially save hundreds of dollars is kind of a stretch. Many people (not saying you do) spend a significant portion of their day checking out the latest gossip on their Facebook account.
