On Wednesday we returned all rented equipment (DVR, Modem, Digital adapter) to Atlantic Broadband in Belmont. We downgraded to internet only 50/6 service for $65/month plus taxes. With just 2 of us the 50/6 should be enough.

Our last cable bill was $224.10 which included $28.90 in rental items and $28.95 in tax/fees.

We now have YouTube TV for $40/month:
https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/
It includes local TV as well as unlimited DVR storage.
We use a ROKU to watch it as well as our tablets.

And Ooma VOIP for phone:

The cost is $5.20/month for basic service; $10.70 more for Premier service.

I did buy my own modem for about $80 and the Ooma Telo Air 2 box for about $100:

After those one time purchases we are at about:

$40 + $65 + $5.20 + $10.70 = $120.90/month

We can each watch our own TV channels and DVR recordings and in addition the YouTube TV will also work over on Welch Island over DSL.
