I'm not giving them the click without a summary.
Also, why post this without any commentary?
I haven't had a cord in years. Don't miss the bills at all. Occasionally miss the sports though.

Just did this beginning April 1st. Coming from FIOS it's been a bit tough. I have to tell you these cable companies are all crooks. I feel totally liberated with me and my $140 bucks back. But man do I miss ESPN and sports....

The problem is the best TV is not available until either long after it has aired or never. At least, not legally. Breaking Bad took how long? Game of Thrones? And, then you take into account people who are transplants and have to pay premium to watch out of network sports games.
Cutting the cord is and all, but you miss out on a lot for what amounts to not a significant amount of money. And extra $50-70 a month? For what I get out of it, I am happy.
It's a safe site, if that's what is worrying you. I visit it often, no pop ups even.

$140??? What do you do for internet? Tether 4G?
I pay about 150/mo or so for 50/30 internet, full blown TV package and home phone, so that's a pretty good deal. The internet alone is worth that.
To really save the money, you have to go all the way and cut the cord for the internet as well. That's something very few people are willing to do. People with no home internet are the true cord cutters.
Did it a few months ago. Had to buy the NHL Gamecenter subscription and then use vpn to log in out of country to then close the vpn to get faster local speeds.
Biggest complaint is the time lag (roughly 55 seconds to 1 minute delayed) and the choppiness in playback.
Use the credentials for my summer house to stream whatever Comcast allows (which is a very limited selection).
$120+ a month is just a waste of money.
What's dangerous is that they recently got rid of net neutrality
That IS a GOOD DEAL!!!!!!! Does it include DVR?
Yeah whole home DVR. I can get more receivers and watch/record from any TV. It's actually a pretty nice setup. I only have one TV though. We're actually very lucky to have this service, being up north we tend to get left out when it comes to stuff like this, so this was quite the surprise when I found out about it.
Yes. You don't save much money by not having cable or satellite tv. My savings each month is only ~$40 a month. I pay $65 a month for internet..
