1. I like it for sports-I pay $25 per month and watch it on my computer.

There were some problems with streaming when I started but those have cleared up as they have improved the service.

3. I had it for a while.

I just started again for college football. I don't have cable so it's worth the 20 a month to me.

I had the same problem with streaming the first time but like the poster above that seems to have been resolved.

If you like the food and history shows its a good deal.

It's easy to cancel and restart. No issues with that.

Also, take advantage of the Roku deal. I love mine.

5. It was a bit quirky when we started it last year, but it is as reliable as the internet

connection. They have a good selection of channels and there is no Fox Noise or Bible Channels.

6. I LOVE IT!!!

I have the basic $20 package. I can watch The Walking Dead, reruns of Big Bang Theory, Dr. Who and Star Trek on BBC and the occasional movie. This, with the $40 I pay for the internet, along with amazon (which I would buy anyway for the shipping) gives me all the TV and internet I want for $60 - $70 per month, no extra taxes, remote/box fees and channels I do not want. I added hbo during game of thrones for $15 per month, dropped when it was done. I am thinking of adding HBO again for the new Westworld, but have not yet decided. Sling gives me lots of options. I am a huge fan.

One thing to note, you have a lot of options on the badwith you use. There are settings to control it.
