    Last fall I contacted Spectrum to complain about the high prices.  My monthly bill had just increased to $230 including Internet and TV.  I had 1 cable box and 1 cable/dvr box.  Channels were just the "regular" channels + 1 tier up (not sure of what they called it) but no premium channels.  Yes I did have MSG so at least that wasn't an issue.  I live within the Buffalo market so my access to streaming apps for Sabres games is limited.

    When I called I eventually was connected to their "Customer Care" dept. (I think that's what it's called) and asked them what I could to to help reduce some of the costs.  Eventually I was put into a package where I got rid of the cable and dvr boxes and went to streaming using a Roku (which I had).  I was also given an upgrade to my Spectrum Internet speed to 500mbps down, 25mbps up as well as eDVR.  All this for $142/mo which I thought was a decent price being that it included Internet.  The price has since gone up to $151/mo but that's still an $80/mo savings.  In fact I was so happy I canceled my Verizon account and switched over to Spectrum Mobile which saved me another $30/mo including 2 new Galaxy S22 phones.

    Is this a good deal?  No idea but I'm saving over $100/mo from last fall so I'm not complaining.  Just thought I'd share.  YMMV

     

    ROC that's just about my same situation.  Tried DirecTV a while ago and switched back to Spectrum, which has been increasing steadily and this April it will be up to the $230 level you were at.  Really don't want to go back to DirecTV, so likely will see if I can get a Spectrum streaming option or go to HULU and ESPN+.  Thanks everyone for a lot of good info!

  2. A different topic but hopefully informative for a lot of people:  How do you watch Sabres games?  I currently have Spect cable with MSG but getting tired of paying the monthly bill.  Looking at streaming options see that Fubo has MSG but tried it before and it was only New York/New Jersey teams.  Maybe it's been changed now?  No MSG on HULU.  MSG Go app is OK but not sure if I can still use it if I cancel cable.  

    Looking for some reasonable options. 

  3. I read this forum regularly but rarely post.  I see all the fire DD and GMTM (to a lesser extent) talk, but just cannot see the reason why.  This team, and the Bills for that matter, seem to need a little stability instead of kicking the coach and/or GM to the door after a season or two, or even three, of less than stellar results.  Fire DD now and who would be brought in?  NOBODY of any value would take the job.  We should give this staff at least this season, assuming Eichel returns soon, and evaluate in June.  The evaluation should result in whatever players are needed to help supplement the assets already here and build on it, rather than tear it down and start this god forsaken process again for the umpteenth time.   

     

    I've watched this team since it's inception, and am as antsy as anyone wanting them to be competitive again.  I attend about 10 games a year, and watch virtually every other game on TV in its entirety.  I want this team to be exciting again as much as anyone.  I just do not think another shakeup will do anything more than set us back to square one.... again..
