Are you ready to cut the cord? As many drop their cable provider in favor of streaming, is cutting the cord worth it?

USA Today reports:

A recent study by the NPD Group determined that the average monthly cost of pay TV in the U.S. hit $86 in 2011 and is projected to rise to $123 by 2015. That's on top of broadband Internet access, which can chew up anywhere from $20 to $205 per month, when it isn't bundled with a cable subscription.
