It's close to or the same cost as cable was.

I cut the cord last Fall and signed up for YouTube TV. Love it, but this gives me pause.

Not surprising. Competition reduced (PS Vue), increased offerings, $50 likely a teaser rate to begin with.

It was 35 at first

LiveCoug

That's purely predatory pricing (ie. take a loss to get market share)

I moved to Verizon cable in March for ~$80. Was considering YTTV, glad I didn’t.

We "cut the cord" a couple of years ago with a Roku and YouTube TV but...

Still a better option than cable for the 3 months that I want to watch football

This is ridiculous. Why not just add a $15 dollar a month add on?

Still benefits to streaming over cable, but ya

So what is the next streaming service people recommend?

Guess I'm headed back to Sling and miss a few games each year. That's the worst
