Cut the cord: Your guide to canceling cable and streaming TV online

The YouTube TV, Sling TV, Hulu, Philo, DirecTV Stream and FuboTV logos appear on a screen with a scissors cutting a coaxial cable wire in front.

Ready to cut the cord? It's totally normal to feel overwhelmed. There's so much going on in the streaming space that it's hard to figure out how to navigate it. While cable offers one, single hub to access all of your favorite shows, streaming has become increasingly fractured over the years. In fact, there are now over 200 services currently vying for eyeballs in the US (per Forbes), each with their own individual exclusive content, plans, and pricing options. And it seems like there are more coming every day!

However, even though it can seem like a daunting task, if you're looking to finally ditch that cable bill and only pay for the content you truly care about, we've got a handy guide here that will hopefully make it a bit easier for you.
