(This is more of a response to the other comment saying that subscriptions get expensive. You just had a nice enumerated list to work with!)
The total price of cable for us would be:
- cable tv with the same subscription level ~$50 a month
- 5 extra set top boxes (yes we have 6 TVs) - $50
- various fees (network access, regulatory, franchise fee) - $15
- HD Technology Fee - $10
The numbers may make less sense if we didn't have unlimited gigabit internet for $70 a month from AT&T. We also have unlimited Internet on our phones (and my iPad).
In total $125 a month just fur TV. That's not to mention that our older son who doesn't live with us also gets to use Netflix and Hulu. Also, my wife has a split shift. When she isn't at the gym, she can watch content on her phone.
I've made back in increased salary more than enough to make the $360 year for PluralSight worth it.
