Your shows. Your budget. Your way.

Cable bills getting out of control? You’re not alone. More and more DC residents are choosing to cut the cord—ditching expensive cable bundles for affordable streaming and free broadcast TV options.

With today’s abundance of streaming services and smart devices, watching your favorite shows, live sports, and news has never been easier or more customizable.

DC Access can help you make the switch, with fast, reliable Internet and Free TVDC, our digital antenna service that delivers dozens of local channels in crystal-clear HD—no monthly bills required.

What Does It Mean to “Cut the Cord”?

“Cutting the cord” simply means cancelling cable or satellite service and using streaming apps and free broadcast channels instead. You’ll still have access to everything you love—without paying for hundreds of channels you never watch.

With a strong Internet connection from DC Access, you can stream content from all your favorite platforms, including:

  • Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Max
  • Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+
  • YouTube TV, Sling, and Fubo for live TV and sports
  • Network apps and websites (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS)
  • Premium add-ons like Paramount+, Showtime Anytime, and STARZ

Cutting the cord puts you in control. Choose only the channels and content you want, all without contracts or hidden fees.
