Im almost at $200 a month it seems ridiculous I am thinking of looking into other options soon what do you folks pay? You got anything better? My local provider has zero local competition that might be the problem.

Our local coop forces us to have 2 of the 3 services they offer we haven’t had a landline with them for years but to get TV and internet you are required to have both with them not one or the other. Years ago we had a phone company called Quest that did the same thing always jacking up their prices and charging ridiculous fees because they had no competition. Then the current coop offered competitive pricing and Quest was gone as a flood of people were tired of the Quest games and customers bailed on them.
The wife needs a simple or similar format she a dinosaur tech wise a real button pusher to make things work! Clueless but still pushing those buttons hoping for a miracle to happen. I’m no tech genius either but I figure things out.
So without their internet connection I get everything through a satellite then? The local cell tower can barely connect a phone here it’s about as useless as not having a tower. So what’s a typical setup and how will it work?

$50 a month for internet. We use a fire stick with our TV and pay for prime and Netflix. Less than $75 a month total.

My local provider has zero local competition that might be the problem. Cut cable TV 8 years ago. I pay $90 for cable internet. I'm hoping that Amazon's satellite internet will be cheaper. If so, bye bye cable. Cable internet is getting as expensive as satellite.

Cable, phone and internet service provider is Comcast $300 month and we don’t use a landline. Looking into canceling cable and live streaming and antenna.

$50 / month for verizon internet which is all I need to watch some youtube videos and my wife can stream her stuff
Sounds good but I have a hard time trusting Verizon from past experiences.

So if I go with say Verizon or say Starlink the TV and internet are all in one then done deal? I won’t have any connection to my old fiber connection after hooking up with either one of those options is that correct?

My internet is thru T-Mobile 5G for $45 per month (bundled price with cell phone service) I spend around $100 per month for various streaming services to get the programming I am interested in seeing. And nearly all of that either has Virtual DVR or On Demand so I can watch things I want to see on my schedule. I hardly ever watch anything live.

No cable,,, we dumped it awhile back. I think we pay around 30 bucks per month for internet… peg has some kind of deal for cheaper rates because of disability. Not sure all the details because she pays the bills,,, I just bring home the doe-ray-me. We watch stuff on YouTube almost 90 percent of the time…

Starlink internet..$80.00 month. Got a mini Starlink for additional $5.00 month for traveling or jobsite. Streaming everything else for free except NewsMax $50.00 for year. Works perfectly!

65 a month with a ***land line***
it had been 129 , Frontier was running a special for less , I called Charter and said I really don't want to switch so how about you make me a deal to stay. Save you the install costs of me switching to them for a year then back for a deal from you in a year.
they made me an offer of 65 a month with the taxes I said deal.
I think Frontier would have come to 59
but A I don't want frontier and B I don't want to have to change stuff up
EDIT: mine is just internet and the pretend land line I don't have tv.

I pay $55/mo for internet service, we have a Roku TV so we get those channels, otherwise, we only use free tv apps like Pluto and tubi, have paramount + right now as a freebie that came with signing up for the Walmart membership deal. No monthly fee stuff. Dumped Verizon a couple months ago was paying $130/mo for a limited data plan with talk/text. Now have Puretalk with unlimited data, talk and text for $65/mo for two lines.

Those of you on starlink, you should open your app and check your subscription options. Changing your level of service is as easy of clicking in the app.
I just got starlink a few months ago. The equipment was free, but I have to send it back or buy it if I cancel within a year. Initially my plan was $80/month. But a month after I signed up I got email about them changing plans. So I checked in the app and there was option to downgrade to 100Mbps service for just $50/month. I don't need more than 100Mbps at my hunting property, so I downgraded.
So now my starlink is $50/month with free equipment.

Internet is 25 a month. Have netflix. Antenna on the tv. thinking about canceling netflix. Mostly pretty sorry movies and tv shows. Tubi is free and find about about as much interesting stuff on it.

You guys should seriously purchase Starlink for $50 a month, it’s a good deal for great internet and you’d be supporting ELON FOR WHAT HE’S DONE FOR THE COUNTRY is worth it in itself. If you find that it’s not enough you can upgrade to the $80 a month plan. If that is not enough upgrade to the $120 a month plan.
Then purchase a VSEE box for a one time payment of $250. Free television forever no monthly charges, ever! Local channels, new movies that are still in theaters, news, sports, tv series, etc.
Cell service~ Straight talk has a plan that is $45. a month for unlimited calls and texts ($45.00 with taxes and fees included) if you pay for the full year. No spending time at the phone store arguing about added charges, etc.

I have Startran and installed the dish on our roof and ran the line down and into side of our home then to router hooked it all up myself from their kit. It’s literally the only service I could get here and have been super happy with it. Very simple package. It’s $100 a month and it is solidly reliable, haven’t had an issue with service yet. Zero complaints. Speed is awesome and we run a heavy load with all of our devices and work from home needs on it. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
