I disagree

We had Xfinity for cable tv and internet and, after doing some research, I completely dropped them and switched to another provider who delivers gigabit FTTH and then I added YTTV. The fiber internet service is cheaper and faster than Xfinity and the YTTV subscription is far cheaper too. We started off saving $240/month. After trials ended and some other price increase kicked in, we are still saving over $150/month from when we started. I understand that options vary depending on where you live but it was an easy decision for me

bottom line, if you want live sporting events, you have to get live TV

As Elberto notes here...youtube TV isn't cheap anymore.

There are multiple options. I'm not sure I'd call them affordable. Fubo
