I would love to ax Xfinity!!!! I pay $185 a month--no special channels--includes internet/cable. It costs $71 for cell phones and service--for me and DD. Have no paid streaming at all.  I have this month and then Sept and my iphone will be paid for. DD doesn't even watch reg  cable--she watches YouTube on her TV.. So does YT offer internet too? Have to look into it.

I don't know where some of you are getting your YouTube TV prices. Here is a screenshot of the current price. We have it, and this is what we pay.

@Ainhisg if you didn't "fake"believe you were going to cancel then yes, the price for YouTubeTV is that much.  Ours is still at $72.99 until February.

I quoted it directly from the website a couple days ago  The $82.99 is a limited time offer until 8/31

---

@smoochy you aren't showing what the limited offer is.  That price of $82.99 a month is after a promo runs out.

depending on where you live, there can be sales taxes, regulatory fees, and other digital taxes. $82.99 adds up to $100 quickly.

@sunshine45 if you are talking about YoutubeTV, there are no additional fees or taxes.  The price you see is what you pay.

@Ainhisg 

again, it depends on the state where you live as to whether or not you are ONLY paying $82.99.

this is what it says on youtubetv.com

Taxes on YouTube TV

As a YouTube TV member, you may see sales or communications taxes on your YouTube TV monthly bill, depending on local tax laws in your location. Tax rates and types can vary by state, territory, or city, and are based on current rates at the time of your monthly charge. These amounts can change over time depending on local tax requirements.

FOR EXAMPLE:

"According to an article from CNBC, about half of U.S. states have started to tax streaming subscriptions like YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling TV, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and more.

There is one fee that may be unavoidable for some YouTube TV subscribers. Depending on where you live, a sales or communications tax may be added to your bill.

For example, I pay the state tax of 7.44% and a local tax of 5.72%, for a total of 13.16% in streaming TV taxes.

Streaming Tax in Florida Example

• Florida communications services tax: 7.44%
• Local communications services tax: 5.72%
• Total communications services tax: 13.16%

The tax rate is based on the address that you provide to a streaming TV provider. I entered my ZIP code on YouTube TV’s website to preview the total price, including taxes, before I signed up.

YouTube TV’s regular monthly price is $72.99, but it’s $82.60 after $9.61 in taxes.

These taxes can really add up, especially if you subscribe to multiple streaming TV services. For YouTube TV alone, this $9.61 per month tax works out to $115.32 per year.

And to be clear, not every state taxes streaming TV services like YouTube TV. You have to do some homework.

If you’re not sure whether a sales or communications tax is added to streaming services where you live, your first stop is your state’s revenue department."
