Yeah. Part of it is because of the ridiculousness of the package deal (when we cut phone from the 3x deal it only saved us like....$10? a month?) so we'd still be paying for internet, but the DirecTV thingy is something like $80-90 a month, so you figure for September to December + the playoffs and the Super Bowl, you're paying that through the first of February, or paying to go to a sports bar every week and use the package they pay for as part of their business model. Or, you pay for cable, and we do watch a few network TV shows (Blindspot, Blacklist, a couple others) and you get the sports and there's something that can chatter in the background if you're bored, you know.

in conclusion, yikes.
