    I have max for free through my ISP, but I don’t watch anything on there. I’d be curious how many subscribers are actually these accounts paid for by the ISPs bundling it into fiber packages vs. someone actively signing up and paying them directly.

      Can’t wait to get off of AT&T and dump Max. We’ve stopped Netflix and Disney+. Stopped using Prime video because of the ads. Only had MGM+ because it was a $1/month for a limited time.

      The only thing I’m paying for right now is Plex and a server in the Netherlands. Looking at doing a local NAS because Xfinity seems to be throttling the streaming from the Netherlands server.

        Why couldn’t you do this now? They have plans that are slightly cheaper without it.

          Family buy-in. Not as easy as making an executive decision. Six people on the plan and five 18 years old or older.

          We are paying entirely too much to AT&T. Monthly goes over $420 frequently. Yes, I know this is crazy but that’s what happens when multiple people want multiple things and everyone pays a little towards it. I’m trying to get them under control.

          And before you think we are completely financially illiterate: Five drivers and five cars in the household with zero car payments (all used and decently maintained). Mobile phones just seem to be our weakness.
