So this a one time $50 fee for the season. No commercials. Awesome. That's actually getting your money's worth. Nothing pisses me off more than paying for services and having to sit through commercials.
Honestly now that Fox News sacked oreilly factor I feel comfortable dumping cable after the supercross series. Cable tv sucks anymore anyway. Entirely too expensive.
Number crunch time:
This will be my new bill once I cut cable, and go to a internet only package.
Internet 49.99/mo
Hulu 12.99/mo
Netflix 8.99/mo
Xbox live $28.99/year (can find deals never pay full price- I can use this like a firestick but also shoot my moto buddies in the winter time on battlefield and call of duty
And race them on mx vs atv encore)
Amazon prime ($39.99 a year-student rate--again never pay full price, find the deals)
NBC Gold $49.99/yr
(Monthly Sub Fees x 12 months) + (yearly Sub fees) = Yearly total
Total
($71.97x12)+(118.97)= $1092.61/yr or $81.88/mo
Compared to my current set up:
Cable internet package with assanine fee and box fees and other fees:
135.99/mo
21.98(All the monthly subs)
118.97(All the yearly Subs)
========
(157.97 * 12) + 118.97 = X
(1895.64) + 118.97 = 2014.61/yr or 167.88/mo.
(Current package) - (new package ) = cost savings per year
2014.61 - 1092.61 = $922
OR
A monthly savings of $86
$76 gets me 1 OMA membership ($25), 1 Open practice ($25) and 1 race Sign up ($25), 1 gate fee ($10) and a Snickers bar ($0.99) extra a year, with the penny going into my change bucket. I'll take it. Eff you cable.
Or since we all know I don't race anyway: $922 is almost three top and bottom end rebuilds on my 144. Only about half a rebuild if my husky grenades.....So, guess I better cut cable and get back to pro practicing and rack up the time on the hour meters.
