Anyone cut cord but kept Xfinity streaming?
Looking to cut my cable bill, i.e. cut the cord, by dumping the DVRs and associated cable services. But will maintain my internet service. By doing so, I can just go with other streaming services but does Xfinity offer a streaming option only, without including it as part of their TV services? Is that Streampix? And can I add extras like HBO Max, Showtime, etc. to the streaming service or will I have to get that from the other streaming services like Hulu, etc.?
What's killing me with the Xfinity TV packages are all the fees, I'm paying $39/month in service fees and taxes plus another $25/month in DVR and equipment fees, almost $65/month that I think I can do away with by streaming.
Anyone else getting Xfinity services this way, i.e. by streaming only?

I’m currently doing the triple play and paying almost 200 a month. I think that if I switched to internet only it would be almost 100 a month for the 200 mbps I currently use. Xfinity stream is okay with what we have now, but when we get rid of cable I bet something will disappear. I feel stuck paying super high prices monthly and going to streaming would only cost about the same if not more. Let me know if you were successful cutting the cord and going internet only…I hope it is possible without sacrificing too much.
