Why US Households Are Cancelling Cable in 2026
The average American household paying for Comcast Xfinity or Spectrum cable television in 2026 spends between $120 and $180 per month. This figure includes the base channel package, the mandatory HD receiver rental ($12/month), the DVR service ($15/month), and the regional sports fee ($12/month) that appears as a "hidden" line item on the bill.
Over 12 months, that is $1,440 to $2,160 spent on a service that offers fewer than 300 channels, requires a technician installation, locks you into a 2-year contract with early termination fees, and still serves you unskippable commercial advertisements during prime-time programming.
KevinIPTV's 12-Month plan at $60 — the same 12 months — provides over 50,000 channels in HEVC 4K, zero commercials, instant self-setup on any device, no contract, and no rental equipment. The differential is not marginal. It is $1,380 per year back in your pocket.
The cord-cutting movement in the US reached a tipping point in 2023 when the number of households cancelling cable exceeded the number of new subscribers for the first time in the industry's history. By 2026, over 45 million US households have cut the cord. KevinIPTV has served tens of thousands of these households since 2016 — providing the stability and quality that other cord-cutting options cannot match.
