My Frontier fiber Triple Play bill has gone up by $20/mo over the last 2 months - it is now $187/mo. So I found out I can reduce it by about $75/mo by dropping all TV service. (Yes, I know - if I drop TV I can never get it back.) I thought I'd go with YouTube TV, but I quickly found out their DVR service does not let you skip over commercials. So I cancelled that one.
Next I looked at Hulu - which is $10/mo more than YouTube (with comparable DVR service.) But there are lots of online reviews saying Hulu still has lots of commercials that can't be skipped, and it is subject to frequent buffering delays. So that one is not for me either.
When I talked with Frontier I could not get an answer to "Is frontier going to drop all TV later this year." One rep said she heard they are in the process of "revamping" their TV service for a new release later in 2022. It is difficult to interpret what this means - if anything.
2 1/2 years ago I cancelled Frontier, switched to Cox for 3 months + 1 day, and then came back to Frontier to get "new customer pricing." Doing that saved me enough $ to pay for the Cox ETF within 8 months; after that I was something like $35/mo ahead of my old Frontier rate. I'd go through that hassle again - except doing it now means I'd have to find TV somewhere else, and nothing out there now looks very good.
