Oct 6th, 2025
You Don't Have to Give Up Your Channels to Switch to Starry
Are you paying over $100 a month for cable TV and internet? You're not alone. Many families spend $120 or more each month on their cable bill. The good news is there's a better way to watch your favorite shows and save money at the same time.
At Starry, we often hear from customers who say, "I'd love to switch to your internet service, but I can't give up my TV channels." We understand. You want to keep watching the news, your favorite shows, and local sports. The solution is easier than you think.
Streaming Services Give You the Same Shows for Less Money
Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube TV offer many of the same channels you watch on cable. The difference is the price. Instead of paying one big cable bill, you can choose only the services you actually watch.
Here's what many families discover:
- Cable bill: $120 per month
- Starry internet + streaming services: $70-80 per month
- Savings: $40-50 every month
That's over $500 saved each year.
We've Partnered with MyBundle to Make This Simple
Choosing streaming services can feel overwhelming. That's why Starry has partnered with MyBundle. They help you figure out which streaming services have your favorite channels and shows.

You Can Still Watch Local News and Sports
One of the biggest concerns people have is losing local channels. Services like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV include local news, weather, and sports channels. You won't miss your morning news or Sunday football games.
Getting Started is Simple
- Keep your current cable while you try streaming services
- Pick one service to start (like YouTube TV or Hulu)

- Add or remove services as needed
- Cancel your cable once you're comfortable
You don't have to change everything at once. Take your time and make sure streaming works for your family.
