Switched to Google Fiber almost two years ago.  Today I cut all the Time Warner coax off the outside of my house.  Fuck Them!

If you're in Austin (in a GFiber service area), you can get 400mb Spectrum service for $29.99/month, total. Paying less than $30 a month for 400mb backup service to my Google Fiber is a no brainer for me.

$30/mo for 400M? Fuckin nice. I’m on their 500M and it’s $90 here. 😕

 

Yep, pretty sure they only offer it where GFiber is available. It was $29.99 for the last 2 years, I noticed they tried to bump it to $50 last month.

Called a Level 1 rep who told me "Sorry, we don't have any other deals, that's the new price"

I said nope, transfer me to customer retention. 5 minutes later and the price was back at $29.99.

Well played. 
 

When I dropped their cable package (and I had everything except playboy) they didn’t offer me shit. Wasn’t really surprised. They couldn’t save me near what I got by cutting. Not even enough to make the convenience worth it.

MLB.tv free for the season via T-Mobile is available in the T-Mo Tuesday app now [mention=1398]Vic_Mackey[/mention].

It's only through the season, so heads up next year... No preseason ball.






Annual reminder that you can get around local blackouts with a VPN for you computer or a VPN on a router for tv app.

I've been a big fan of YTTV but glitching out at the end of Eastern Conference Finals (and post-game show) is completely unacceptable considering live sports is the only reason I pay for it.

This would be a nice first step but I bet the price will be in the $20-$30 range.

 

That’s interesting, but probably not. $20-$30 worth of interesting except during college football season. 

I wonder if that will end up getting it pulled out of YTTV or the like or if they’re just targeting people who don’t even want something like YTTV.

PSA:  YoutubeTV added Tennis Channel and T2 today.  You need to go to the YTTV website to add to your live guide.  It wasn't up yet when I checked a minute ago, but it should happen sometime today.

Well, crap.  Tennis Channel is in the 10.99 per month sports add on pack, which, naturally, wasn't in the press release.  Stuck watching Nadal and Federer  on T2.  Doesn't suck, but . . .
