Here’s the deal for both of you. I did the same thing and got the orange and blue sling package 45 a month. BUT now that you’re streaming you have limited data usage. I’m in Cox cable here in BR so we’d run out they’d charge an extra 10 for so many added bytes or whatever of data so I ended up having to upgrade my cable service to unlimited which now means I pay 160 plus for internet service and 45 for sling. My bill went from 260-275 a month to 205. The internet companies like COX have adjusted to losing cable customers so they go up on internet service as well as limiting amount of data similar to cell service.

That sucks - I should have added in that I live in a major metropolitan area (Atlanta - inside the perimeter) with 100 internet options that are all fast. The speed and cost of the speed is not really part of my calculation because competition makes it relatively cheap and abundant.

Yeah, when I had Cox(might have been Charter) they also charged me for bandwidth.
But, their packages came with faster download speeds + higher data limits. Since I work on the internet I wanted the faster speeds anyway and I ended up with way more data than I ever used even with 4 people streaming all month.
I've been on DSL the past few years which is slow and has no data usage limits. Only 7.5mbps download. Not worth it, I'm looking forward to getting back on cable internet next month.
