Mashable wrote about the AT&T HBO Go bundle, which you can read about in detail on AT&T’s website. It’s only available in select areas and the $39 per month is just for the first year. From there it goes to “standard rates” which you can assume are exponentially higher. There’s also a $99 installation fee.
Still, this is a great option for chord cutters. I know personally, $39 per month is 20% of what I pay per month for cable (including HBO), DVR and high-speed internet. That’s a pretty sweet savings.
There are definitely arguments on both sides of the chord-cutting debate, but for me the strongest pro stance is this. How many time have you clicked through the 200 plus channels you pay for and say there’s nothing on? Much more often than you click though and find something you really want to watch. And while a service like this removes some of that randomness, the selection is so incredibly vast (HBO Go, for example, offers almost every movie currently airing on every HBO and every episode to every show they’ve ever done, updated in real time) you’d be hard pressed to ever run out of material.
Do you think bundles like this are the wave of the future?
