The main reason to cut the cable TV cord is to save money, but at $50 per month for TV service, that's a tall order. You'll still need broadband internet, likely provided by a cable company. Changing your cable plan to "just internet" -- dropping the cable company's TV service -- allows you to add a streaming TV service such as YouTube TV. But if "just internet" costs $50 per month, for example, adding another $50 for TV brings your bill to $100, a level that many cable providers bundle with their own TV service. There goes your savings.

If a broadband + TV bundle costs the same as a broadband + cord cutter TV service, what's the point?
