The cheapest plan is almost never the cheapest thing you end up paying for. I learned that the expensive way — entry tier, one stream, one server, and a second subscription bought two months later to plug the gaps. Here is the honest breakdown after 11 months and 10 providers.

Write down what you pay now — not what you think you pay, what leaves your account.
For most households I speak to it is a Sky or Virgin bill somewhere north of £60, a sports add-on, a streaming service that has raised its price twice, and one forgotten subscription.
Then write down what you genuinely watched last month. Almost nobody needs twenty thousand channels. The honest answer is usually eight to fifteen, and that gap between what you pay for and what you watch is the whole argument.
The lowest sticker price usually works out dearest over a year, through costs that never appear in a comparison table.
Entry tier normally means one stream, one server and support that is not really support. None of those three are on the pricing page.
The money leaks elsewhere: a second subscription to cover what the first drops, a streaming box bought because you assumed the hardware was at fault, and a lot of evenings troubleshooting something that could not be fixed.
The honest maths: take the yearly cost, add everything you bought to make it work, and divide by the nights it actually held up.
Monthly outlay: single digits, against a Sky bill that had passed £120.
What I spent beyond the subscription: an ethernet adapter. That is the whole list.
What I would warn you about: the cheapest tier. One stream and one server is not a bargain, it is a different product — and you usually end up buying a second subscription to cover what it drops.
I pay single digits a month for Cutt and cancelled a bill that had passed £120. Pay monthly while you check it, exactly as I did — pricing and the full channel list are at https://cutt.ly/WyvkyB16.
