There is no other good internet option where I live.
We don't care about watching the shows on the nights they're broadcast, we always watch on DVR, and skip the commercials. We hate watching commercials.
I have the impression that most of the streaming programming still has commercials. Is that correct?
Hulu has commercials up front and during the shows, but instead of 8 or so, the count is 2. You can pay them a little more for no commercials. Netflix doesn't have commercials. Both services are around $9 per month. If you have Amazon prime, they also provide streaming included with the cost of Prime (so at $99 about $11/month) - but you get other advantages with Amazon prime.
Some of the best TV programming IMO now comes from Netflix and Amazon - equivalent in standards to PBS.
Search for cutting the cable here on Early Retirement, there were a few threads about this. Also take a look at Cord Cutters News - All the news cord cutters need about cord cutting! Covering, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Netflix, Hulu, & More!
