This article will detail the available options for budget-friendly streaming and bundled services, drawing exclusively from the data provided.

Mediacom Internet and TV Bundles

According to the source data, Mediacom offers an internet and TV bundle titled "Mediacom Internet 250 and Local TV." This package is priced at $60.05 per month. It includes an internet speed of 250 Mbps and access to over 50 TV channels. The pricing noted is per month plus taxes for the length of the contract, and additional fees and terms may apply. It is important to note that pricing varies by location and availability, and all prices are subject to change at any time. The availability of this service is dependent on the service address. This information was updated as of October 27, 2025.

The source material does not specify any freebies, such as complimentary premium channels, free streaming devices, or trial periods for premium services, associated with this Mediacom bundle. The focus appears to be on providing a standard internet and local TV service at a specific price point.

Free Streaming Services and the "Freebie the Love Bundle"

For consumers seeking no-cost entertainment options, the source material highlights a strategy called the "Freebie the Love Bundle." This approach leverages free TV streaming services and public library offerings, requiring only a one-time purchase of an Over-the-Air (OTA) antenna, which costs between $30 and $70. This setup allows users to access local channels for news, sports, and network shows without a monthly fee.

The free streaming apps included in this bundle are: - Crackle - FilmRise - Fubo Sports Network - Hoopla - Kanopy

It is noted that Hoopla and Kanopy require a library card. The primary drawbacks of this free bundle are the presence of advertisements in the content and the need to navigate between multiple apps on a phone or computer. However, the source emphasizes that "free is free."

To customize this free setup, consumers can: - Purchase an OTA antenna to receive local channels. - Utilize streaming devices that support these free apps.

Other Budget-Friendly Streaming Bundles

Tubi is a free, ad-supported service.

For students, there is an option to get Hulu for $1.99 per month, available to both new and existing subscribers. Additionally, for those with a larger budget, Netflix ($17.99 per month) or HBO Max ($16.99 per month) can be added for premium content.
