Looks like I'm probably joining as well.

Google fiber is going up $15, my bill is going to be close to $200. Spectrum has their triple play for like $94, then you start adding crap like HD boxes, then DVR. It's upwards of $140.

I've been checking out tv streaming services and initially liked FuboTV. Then they literally dropped a bunch of channels on the 1st, plus they don't have ESPN. Then it seemed like each streaming option is missing some channel that we watch. YoutubeTV doesn't have A&E, MTV, History, etc

So it's looking like I'm going to possibly do Youtube TV + Philo. Philo is pretty cheap and covers a bunch of channels that we'd be missing and has some overlap. I'll split the Youtube TV with my mom since she's cutting the cord too. So $70 for internet, $25 youtube tv and $20 for Philo.

Overall i'll save a bit more money than going Spectrum. But I don't have to deal with installation, crappy equipment, and can keep my fiber. Then hopefully YoutubeTV can catch up on those missing channels and I can drop Philo.

Sucks Google Fiber dropped their 100mbps plan though
