NT, convince me "cutting the cord" is a good idea

[big1236]

is it better to get a gateway or two separate ones?

 

[rwfanatic]

I feel like I remember reading never get a two in one.

 

[SuperQ]

Theres a few factors to consider for that answer... price point? What are you trying to do? Home size? Two in ones can be good depending on what brand you buy. Just don't get the gateway that your ISP provides. The wireless cards in them are pretty cheap.

 

[big1236]

i'm in a condo that's about 1000 square feet.

The ones xifinity provides are two-in ones, right?

what's a good price point?

 

[SuperQ]

Im actually not too familiar with Xfinity man, sorry. Honestly, my suggestion would be the Netgear Nighthawk series. You can find them right around $175-200. Costco and Sams are always putting them on sale. Its dual band(even tri-band) wireless and will provide more than enough coverage and capability for your condo.

thanks, now if i get this router, do i still need to get a modem?

 

[frshstunna]

Modem is for connecting to the internet and the router gives you wifi access

I cut the cord back in September and no regrets so far, not missing out on anything and my bill is dumb cheap

Netgear has them separate or 2 in 1 and Id get the two in one.

Does that Disney+ joint come with all the Disney originals like Brink and Johnny Tsunami?

^both are on there, just checked. Disney+ bringing back pieces of my childhood

Word. So I should just get rid of Hulu and get Disney+?

 

[NCtwin]

NO. You gotta roll with both, especially if you want the more adult stuff. Also, Disney+ is just Disney. You aren't getting anything from any of the non-Disney channels.

Disney+ has a bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99. wife was paying $10.99 for Hulu with no commercials so it was a no brainer to get the bundle.

getback yup. I watched Smart House last night.

 

[big1236]

first thing me n wifey did was watch boy meets world...LOL

 

[getback]

getback yup. I watched Smart House last night.

I can't wait to grave dig all this disney content. They even got Bug Juice?

 

[kenny powders]

I was wondering if they have the old Disney afternoons shows like Aladdin and Talespin

Got the free year with Verizon for D+ and I have Hulu Live TV and the no commercial plan which is about $65/month, wonder how much it will be if I was to try the bundle

 

[jpzx]

My understanding is that the Disney+ bundle with Hulu doesn’t come with Hulu + Live TV, just Hulu’s streaming service, worth pointing out for those that are considering cancelling Hulu that have Live TV with it.

 

[iamdef]

That's why I hadn't even bothered trying to do the bundle just yet
Wouldn't even make sense since I'm getting D+ free for 12 months
Next year I'll cross that bridge

Yes to both of those, along with Darkwing Duck, Bonkers, Recess, and a bunch more.

AND X-MEN!!! I'm working my way through that now.

 

[big1236]

Darkwing duck!?!?! OMG yasssss

 

[koudie from brooklyn]

Darkwing duck will always be the goat

- stay freshhhhh !!!

Welp Hulu Live is going up from $45 to $55. Only a matter of time before Youtube TV hits the $60+ range too. Sling TV still steady at $25 but it's definitely the weakest in terms of streaming/reliability IMO so you get what you pay for.
