Reading your bill
The lines to add up on a cable bill
Cable statements spread the TV cost over several lines, and the base package is rarely the whole story.
Base package
The price of your channel tier once the 12-month promo has run out, not the intro rate.
Equipment
Receiver, DVR and extra-room box rentals, plus any HD or “technology” fees charged per box.
Add-ons
Sports tiers, premium movie channels like HBO or Showtime, and any pay-per-view you bought.
Fees and surcharges
The broadcast TV fee and regional sports fee often sit near the bottom of the bill. Add them to the base amount.
Before you cancel
Before you cancel cable
- Keep your internet service, because IPTV runs over the broadband you already have.
- Check your cable contract for early-termination fees and add them to the first year's comparison.
- Return the rented boxes and keep the receipt, or you may be billed for them.
- Run the free 6-hour trial on your main TV before you cancel anything.
Is your internet fast enough?
You'll want about 25 Mbps per 4K stream or 10 Mbps per HD stream. The test takes about ten seconds.

It takes the price for the plan length and number of screens you pick, turns it into a monthly cost and multiplies by 12. That's why a longer plan shows a lower yearly figure.
Live sports and PPV events are in every plan, with no separate sports package. For a lot of households, dropping the sports tier is most of the saving.
There's nothing to rent. IPTV Trends works on devices most homes already have, like a Firestick, a smart TV, an Apple TV, an Android box or a phone.
Try the free 6-hour trial first. If you buy a plan and change your mind, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers it.
