So you're thinking about cutting the cord on cable TV, but worry you'll miss HBO? There's a way to get what you want.
In recent months, cable companies have wised up that they might lose a slowly growing niche of cable-cutting customers. Several of them now will sell a package that include just Internet, HBO (and HBO Go) and the most basic of TV.
It's like ordering off the secret menu, you have to know what to ask for to get above package:
•Comcast: "Internet Plus"
•Time Warner Cable: "Starter TV+HBO and an Internet plan"
•Verizon FiOS: "50/25 Mbps + Local News and Sports + HBO (or Showtime)"
•AT&T U-Verse: "HBO Internet Plus"
