I took the plunge about a year ago and am very happy I did. I live in AA and had a crappy package with Comcast costing like $130 / month for internet and TV that didn't even have many of the channels I wanted. I cut it down to $50 for just internet at their slowest tier - which I've found to be plenty fast for streaming, gaming etc. I think I get about 25-30 Mbps down; Netflix advises that you need 6 Mbps down per HD stream that you are running.
I used YoutubeTV during football season for $40 a month. They have every conceivable sports channel included that I never had before with Comcast. I then cancelled it when the season ended because it's month to month with no contract and all I watch is football, Netflix, and Amazon Prime (sorry, I'm just not into basketball). I'll go back to YoutubeTV again in the fall for 4 months. I would have had Netflix and AP regardless of my TV/Internet plan status so I consider those to be a wash. I've saved a substantial amount of money with literally no dropoff in the content that I watch. I did recently subscribe to HBO via Amazon Prime Channels which is $15 a month and will keep that until Game of Thrones is done, at which point I'll cancel that again since it's also month to month with no contract.
I also switched my cell phone service from Sprint to Comcast Xfinity Mobile and have been pleasantly surprised with how great it is. I was paying like 90 bucks a month for Sprint between the plan and the phone lease. I bought out my phone and brought it with me. Comcast gives you unlimited talk and text for free if you have their internet service. They charge $12 a gig for however much data you use and operate a virtual network using Verizon towers. My signal is better, and I'm always on wifi so I never use over 2 gb of data.. My bills have been about $28 a month for 2 gb of usage plus fees and taxes.

This. It's not even close. Frita Batidos is in a different league above any other place in town.
Yeah I kept my number.

It's on NBC (Detroit Channel 4), not NBCSN. Idunno about the Hulu part.
