Many people ask this question most of the time and it really depends on your current financial situation. I can tell you that if you go with a cable package today you will have to pay more for any of the premium channels like HBO, Showtime, Starz and etc. When you go with cord cutting you actually can tailor what you like to watch as well as watching your budget at the same time. Many places online now give you the opportunity to watch those premium channels online without paying so much extra for them. You can also download apps to view your favorite shows on your mobile devices; which is a plus in my book.
