Cord Cutting: How much can you save (not save)?



This is it. This is the year. 2015 is the year we can finally say goodbye to cable subscriptions and embrace online television.

Until now, internet services have largely catered to the back catalogs of older shows (Netflix, Amazon) or day-after replays (Hulu Plus). But even those companies are now creating award-winning original series, and services like Sling and PlayStation Vue have sprung up to offer traditional cable channels like AMC and ESPN live without signing long-term contracts with Comcast or Time Warner Cable. Even HBO Now is available without a cable contract.

So here's the big question: can you "cut the cord" and still get all the television you want? How much will it cost you to do so? The people at The Verge have put together a great click chart for you to plan out costs of cutting the cord and only getting the service you want. It could be a huge eye opener for some and for others, those that need all the TV channels, a savings calculator. Link down below.
