Nope... Max is not on either platform.

Isn’t the change over next month when it launches and GO still works?

My impression from what WOW told me was that GO is being replaced by MAX. At any rate, despite the fact that they have had some great shows, I’m feeling very disrespected as a long time subscriber. Not sure I’ll sign on again.

That's the issue with big companies these days. They have plenty of buisness and losing your buisness is no worry to them. You can't threaten to leave them when they wrong you. The whole reason to cut the cord IS because of how they treat their customers.

Cut cord two years ago. Went with YouTubeTV at $50 a month (was paying $65 before cutting cord). Now You Tube TV is increasing price to $65 starting in August. Will be cancelling You Tube TV.

One project I have given myself while marooned in my apartment in NYC is to look into ditching cable TV. The main hurdle in the past has been access to live sports, including the English Premier League, but there are options now online. Plus, for the next few weeks or months, access to live sports is obviously not a concern. Anyway, this thread is very useful for research so thanks for all of the input!

Update: I finally did it. Ditched Spectrum Cable TV for Youtube TV. Still getting our internet from Spectrum. Even with the recent price hike for Youtube TV, we are still saving about $50 a month. Youtube TV has every channel we wanted and then some, plus a great DVR service. Been using it for a week and it's great so far.

One annoyance. When I called spectrum to say we were switching to internet only, they told me our internet speed would actually increase (more than double) because we were on an old Time Warner plan with a speed below their lowest offering now. So, WTF didn't they tell us that earlier 🤬

Offering more for the same return hasn't been in any cable companies business model as far as I can tell.

I had the very same call with WOW and was also beyond irritated. Although, in their defense, they did send out promo ads touting higher service speeds and encouraged me to cut the cable TV service. Anyway ... it feels very liberating not to be paying over 300 a month for content I don’t need. The library system where I live has lots of DVDs. Netflix and Amazon have enough. I’m still furious at HBO. I will enjoy my newly low outlay for a while. Books have re-entered my life.
