Re: Not going America !
It is hard, though, now that Internet is considered more-or-less an essential, to keep the cost to a reasonable level. I semi-cut-the-cord, by going back to mostly antenna TV, so that I only now pay $40 per month for Internet: which I get from Way-out-West, who are a relatively small Internet provider (with OK-ish customer service); and I add $25 for sling (which adds on the basic cable channels, including Premiership football on NBCSN, which is, obviously, an ex-pat survival essential). I also got rid of Netflix. We have no home telephone, using just Skype to make calls (circa $5 per month for calls to landlines), so our total "not-cable" entertainment bill is $70: which, to my mind is still scandalously high.
