I currently am caretaking for my Mother and she refuses to cut the Spectrum cable.
If I had a choice in the matter, I would easily bury Spectrum and get YouTube TV, but it isn't my house.
The timing of this and the excuses by Spectrum are pathetic.
Spectrum is trying to say they are holding out for their customers when all they are doing is holding their customers hostage.
Even though I have ways to watch the game tomorrow, it is a hassle and every moment I despise Spectrum that much more.
They will end up giving in to Disney, still make millions and go up on their prices, while pretending to be on the customers side.
If I actually wrote what I really think of Spectrum I would probably be banned immediately.
I so hope Spectrum loses thousands and thousands of customers with this charade.
Thoughts?
I won't give up cable because I watch Bally almost everyday, whether it's the Braves or the Predators.
I cut the cord seven-ish years ago when YTTV was like $30/month. Bally hadn't yet taken over the regional Fox networks. Then suddenly everything started to change, and cord cutting was only saving me a little, instead of a lot. Right now, if I drop Spectrum and go YTTV for $80, Bally for $20, internet for $80, I'm saving about $25 over Spectrum. Meh.
So, I'll wait them out, watch ESPN on YTTV when necessary. BAMA will be on CBS soon enough. Titans are on CBS on Sunday. I'll have my Braves on Bally. Hockey season fires up in a minute. And when Disney and Spectrum make good, all will be well again.
Then YTTV will fight with someone; DirectTV will fight with someone; Xfinity will fight with someone; FUBO will eventually fight with someone. We, the consumer, always lose.
