Nobody likes the price increase ... but I still think it is a good bargain compared to traditional cable or satellite. And everyone's situation is different ... my wife likes other channels in addition to sports. It is all in one place, I can watch on my phone or computer easily from anywhere. No need to get 4-5 other services just to replace this one. BUT I can see why some of you would.
The best way to approach any service is be willing to switch, get locked into a cheaper rate, and switch in two years when the price goes up. I used DirecTV for 14 years until it got too expensive. Then I switched to Spectrum and it was fine for 2 years until they doubled the price. So I switched to YTTV, and even with this increase, is still $60-70 less than I was paying for Spectrum.
