I'm in an area of Southern California where FIOS is available, and I've had FIOS Internet, TV, and phone service ever since Verizon introduced it many years ago. Currently my monthly Frontier bill for 500/500 Internet, Prime TV, and phone is $138.88 (including taxes and fees). Note that I do not have the $10.00 router charge because I bought my own router several months ago.
My current 2 year contract expires at the end of this month, so I chatted with Frontier to find out what my monthly bill would be when that happens - and I lose those obscure 2-year discounts (whatever they actually are.) I was told my new bill would be $166.97, and $114.98 if I cancelled TV service. Both of these are costs without taxes & fees.
The difference in price is $51.99. This surprised me because I was expecting it to be more than the monthly cost of YouTube TV- something I had considered switching to if it was going to be less expensive. But it's not. So it looks like cord cutting is not a good option for me (provided those prices hold.)
Just to be sure I've saved the summary chat paragraph that repeated the prices, so if something weird happens I have hard code evidence of what they should be.
