No NESN or NBC Sports Boston

I tried to watch the bruins on NESN as I usually do and got a message that said I need a subscription. I then flipped to NBC sports Boston (home of the Celtics) and got the same message. How is it possible that when I pay $220+ per month for cable I can’t even watch my local teams?

Looks like Fubo.tv is a reasonable option for streaming Bruins, as they carry NESN and is only $104.98 (including taxes and fees) for their Elite package. I’ll save over $900 annually by dropping Xfinity TV and moving over to Fubo and I won’t really

No, I don’t subscribe to the Ultimate package. As of yesterday the package I have included NESN. Today it doesn’t. I’m not going to pay Xfinity $20 more to upgrade, your costs are already too high and the value I get far too low to spend another $240

Same experience. Another reason to drop Xfinity.
