      I can tell you that as soon as my contract expires that I will drop Cox and switch to Google fiber. The extra $5/month is worth it to me to get rid of Cox. Strange that Cox offered me half the price for 3 times the download speed (with a 2 year contract) just months before Google started laying fiber. I signed up to get the 100 Meg uplink for my Plex server (previously the max available was 30 Meg, which seemed more a suggestion). If I could cancel Prime video without losing free shipping, I would. I REALLY HATE all the commercials now on Prime.

      Along with literally everything else. Technology is a catch 22. You only need one ISP, one operating system, etc. Competition is pointless when any idiot knows you pick the ISP with the fastest available speed. Without fiber optics, cable is it. And I refuse anything satellite and 5G, not only because it can be hacked from the air, but quality and reliability will never be guaranteed in comparison. This is the real world, and it will always be that way. A.I. will just cause more of the same risks and problems. Welcome to reality. Aint it grand? :(

    I went to Cord cutting 2.0 with T- Mobile a couple months ago. Been satisfied so far. It has gone down a few times but they have been updating the towers around me. So that should be happening less. Got about the same down load speed of around 400 and upload is much faster around 60 with no external antenna,but may get later. The best part over all a lot cheaper. Down from $100 to $60. Got lots of perks when I signed up along with phone service, the phone service was also cheaper with it. Got Netflix,Apple TV and a $200 gift card. I think they now added security cameras with it now. If we ever get fiber in my area and I can afford may get that for faster speeds. However I’d probably be sticking with 2.0 at the same time to keep the discount and perks.

    Last week Spectrum sent me an email saying that they were raising internet speeds to 400mbps from 300. I found that my speeds here went from 360 and now are 490. None of this makes a difference to me as I lived for years on 25 mbps down. My computer updates are the only thing I notice. It is all still at the same high price.

    Cut the cable in March this year, went from 285. to 65.00. Stayed with comcast for the internet and went with Roku devices. Tried some different streaming services and stayed with Hulu (They had the channels we liked and we preferred their DVR). Don't think we will buy a TV with Roku built in, because I never trust built ins to last as long as the TV.

    Unfortunately where I live, you only have two options for broadband. Either terrestrial wireless which is very unreliable, or satellite. We’ve had traditional satellite internet and it sucks. Data caps, slow speeds, and weather outages are just not worth the cost. Starlink? Not on our budget! Cable has never come out this far, in fact I doubt that it ever will, and we’ve never been able to get DSL. T-Mobile’s 5G isn’t available either. They are supposed to be bringing fiber to our area, so we are crossing our fingers and waiting for it to finally go live. That’s the one bad thing about living in a rural area, you generally have few choices (if any) for decent internet service.

Meanwhile theyre subscribed to Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus, Hulu, AMC+, Peacock, Paramount Plus, HBO Max, etc.... At the end of the day all of those services add up and you end up spending around the same you would have with a standard cable/satelitte TV package. And depending upon your cable company some of these apps are included free with your cable tv package.

Example - HBO Max you can get the same shows through a cable provider on demand as you do through that app directly. Now yes the app itself does offer a show or two different to try to entice you go get that service directly through HBO Max as opposed to using a cable company as the middleman.

BTW, Spectrum lowered their price to same as fiber in my area,and will match fibers price if you call to cancel.

The primary product of TV manufacturers are TV’s not streaming software, ROKU primary business is streaming software and devices. So ask your self who is going to put more investment in streaming technologies. I would prefer TV manufacturers to invest in making better TV’s and just bundle or let the customers choose a streaming device.

    good to hear these dam greedy cable companies are losing subscrbers..stop raising your prices would be a start..offer different cheaper cable tv,internet services,and combined services…heres an idea..offer a service like all your local channels and pick any 5 cable channels ( excluding movie/tv channels like hbo,starz) for $25 a month..u can get all your local channels via tv antenna so why pay for them through your cable provider?..i havent had cable in yrs and dont miss it.i have tv antenna and pay for 1 streaming app..companies keep raising there services and offer crappy service packages..also stop caving in into these networks when they threaten to stop airing over your network if they dont get a price hike..it all comes down to greed.

    I have one Roku but I'll never buy another after the crap they are pulling with the attempt to play ads when you pause something by hijacking the connection to your TV. Screw them!
    On the cord cutting 2.0 front, I'm still suck with Spectrum. I have no decent 5G service level from any of the companies, just barely enough to get phone call level, if I go outside. No fiber option yet. And satellite, for the cost and speed doesn't even come close to Spectrum. Luckily in my area, Spectrums internet service had been extremely good for me for 20+ years. I have no complaints there. Yet.
    I did cut my TV service with them over two years ago, and never replaced that with anything, just gave up on broadcast channels altogether. I'd need to get a tower and antenna if I wanted decent service, and I seem to be fine without.

    Just went thru Hurricane Milton. Very lucky.... minor damage and only a 3 day power outage....but Spectrum is still out (starting Oct 9, 2024). My house-bound Mom depends on Internet-based Lifeline equipment but still NO Spectrum internet/TV connectivity. I live a few blocks away (fortunately) and have ATT Fiber. I lost electricity as well but with power from my little generator, I had full 500 mbps service instantly....even during an otherwise full blackout with high winds and rain. Spectrum has yet to offer a "repair" timeline and I am positive they won't pro-rate their monthly billing to reflect this extended outage. I am now weighing alternatives for her. Spectrum is bye-bye.

    Where I live I can only get Cable Internet or DSL internet.
    AT&,T at one point offered fixed 5G but no longer offers in my area.
    I do not even live in the middle of nowhere because if I did then I would better understand why I don't get anything beyond cable & DSL internet service.
    It just seems like there's not enough companies expanding their fiber & fixed 5G services. Either that or they are just at a stand still, I am not sure which it might be.
    I am anxiously awaiting fiber optic internet but I highly doubt my area will get that any time soon! .

  • @ernies8828

    Comcast Xfinity is the only high speed internet in our area that gives us up to gigabit, so there is no way I and most people would cancel as a result. I prefer direct ethernet connections. It is more secure than anything wireless, including 5G and satellite, which can be hacked from the air. And I know multiple cases in which this has happened. The only downside is you are limited to 100 mbps on the Roku streaming boxes with ethernet, not that this affects the streaming quality up to 4K HDR, 60 fps with Dolby Vision. And again, A.I. should permanently end. But I digress.

    A little bit of an off-topic comment, but I'll be glad when this election season finishes in three weeks. I live at the border of two competitive congressional House of Reps districts and I'm getting inundated with ads from all four candidates; three ad breaks during this 10 minute CCN video. I sure hope CCN is getting a healthy cut of ad revenue for putting up with it. Surprisingly very few [ political ] ads when watching something on a FAST streaming channel.

    I have a 55" LG TV, and I began using a Firestick a couple years? Switched to a Roku stick and haven't looked back. I purchased a new 2024 Roku Ultra during the sale, may arrive tomorrow. I still have Internet with my local cable company. They are not as cheap as others, but are updated with equipment, 5G and all. Plus they have NOT raised pricing in 4 years and have super customer service.

    I live in cow country and have and will continue with cable internet. We never thought we would have it here. Use to have satellite internet but in bad weather had problems. As far as other options we don't and or can't get anything else and from what I see satellite is more expensive than my cable is right now. The main thing with cable is I feel people are paying for band width they don't even need or use. If they checked on what speeds their devices use/need they maybe surprised that paying for 500MPS to a 1 Gig plan is WAY more than they need. I sub to 1-2 channels right now and use Roku devices even thou I have Samsung TV's due to their customization for their home screen. Just hate sifting through all the smart TV home screens which are very congested with a bunch of home screen stuff.

    I would not say that any streaming service you get that is included with Walmart plus or Verizon is free.
    There is a difference between free and included.
    When it’s included, you are paying a little bit more for that membership or service than you would be otherwise. You don’t get anything like that for free.
    I would like to see the question asked how many of the paid services are people using. Rather than paying for. I would bet the number would be closer to five a month instead of two or three.
    And how many subscribe to one of the live TV streaming services?
    I think that would be a better indicator of what is happening in the marketplace.

    Spectrum was charging us almost $300 a month for basic cable and internet, and raising rates about every other month. OF COURSE they are losing customers, we gotta be able to eat! Starlink for the win. And when Amazon gets up and running, I will consider them too. May the cheapest GOOD option win!

    Commycast has had terrible service for us guessing 30 yrs? Always cutting back their services, reducing speeds, removing channels; at the same time indiscriminately raising their prices! They are our phone provider also. Commycast has outsourced their tech support for years overseas so it's rare to get a fluent support human. When their equipment goes out, you always get refurbished back, so it doesn't last long. Our current cable box will have been out for 2 YEARS!!!, as of next November. Going to see what kind of refund we'll get (yea, right)!
    Amazon and Prime has given us exemplary service w/NO questions, ever! So, bring it on!
    Have had Amazon Stock for 18 yrs, and Prime, so, when!!
    Bring it on!

  • @jonsumner5899

    Yeah actually I use a Roku in the Roku Channel used to be my favorite free streaming service but frankly Amazon Prime has really stepped up their game and so that has become my favorite free streaming service mainly because they have some really great free channels that I really can't find anywhere else like they have WB horror stories, WB cartoon rewind, and they have a sitcom Channel I don't really remember the name of what they call it that has a lot of episodes of growing pains on it, also the dungeons & dragons has some great potential the only problem is they haven't really updated it so hopefully that gets updated and get some new stuff on it

    When I had cable internet it was unreliable, had data caps and generally expensive. So I switched to T-Mobile 5G, it’s OK, but there are minor issues, particularly when. ending to do zoom connections the upload speed is inconsistent. So hopefully by the end of the years I am going fiber with the same speed both up and down. The fiber cable is to the house, just waiting for the physical connection. Price is about the same. With T-Mobile the speed is all over the place, it works well for streaming, but occasionally I need to do a video conference and there is sucks badly for the upload video.

    I'd like to see the actual market availability on this 'cord cutting 2.0' he keeps pushing.
    There are two major problems with it:
    1 actual area covered
    2 capacity (on 5G) both load and how many customers they can actually allow on their network. But both of these are usually flooded over and excused by him.
