DirecTV Stream Price vs Benefits

This offering has had many names since 2016.

During Spring of 2017 my Go Big invoice was $37 per month

During Spring of 2021 my Go Big invoice was $74 per month

December 2021 I was informed my Go Big invoice was to increase $10 per month

I cut the cord about 5 years ago because the Stream service was very price competitive with RCN Cable

That is NO LONGER the case

There are several issues with DirecTV Stream:

-frequent outages

-poor synergy with associated Apps which require constant registering

-no local channels

-no local PBS

I expect I will cancel right after Christmas and take advantage of RCN's bundled pricing (cable + internet)

It's nice to have choices. But I haven't experienced the issues you're facing. 

1. No issues with "frequent outages".

2. Have not had to "constantly register" associated Apps

3. You don't say where you're located, but in Seattle we have local channels

4. PBS is already available in some cities and coming soon elsewhere
