I use Netflix, Hulu +, Sling TV, YouTube and HBOGo, to watch movies, and a lot of the channels you normally only get with cable. All that comes in wireless, with my DSL.
Cost for everything is less than $40 a month, and I have more choices than I did when I had cable. My old bills for Cox Cable were over $120 a month.
In my Miami condo, the same little indoor TV antenna pulls in 62 channels.



Forty bucks a month seems low. Netflix is at least $8, HBOGo requires a cable subscription, HBONOW is $15, and Hulu + is $8 a month. How much is your DSL service? We use DSL at our place in Virginia and it struggles to stream video reliably.


Netflix is $8 a month, same with Hulu +. Sling is $20. The HBOGO costs me nothing. I don't figure in the cost of the internet, as I use it for a lot of things, and not just streaming services.
In Gainesville, the DSL barely keeps up, in Miami, I am getting 45+ MBPS download speed with fiber optic DSL
