    ...should I get rid of cable and go with AT&T Fiber.

    I ditched cable last year and went fiber, Now I stream stuff.
    I save $90 a month roughly and the intenet is way better, 1g up and down.

    Also, have you ever thought about ditching cable TV altogether?
    Really, is there anything you watch on regular TV now that couldn't be watched online? Of course, you wanna keep the Net connection, which
    will save you a few bucks a month.

    I can't find a good solution for local news, surprisingly. I only get
    one channel with an HDTV antenna, have been wanting to try IPTV but
    haven't had the time to play with it.

    Yeahbut.... what about the channels you can no longer watch. Discovery, History, *many* sporting events, local news.... etc.
