Amazon’s New Home Internet Service is Delayed Again cordcuttersnews.com/amazons-new-home-internet-service-is-delayed-again/
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.
The less we watch the more we realize how much we don't miss it.
Yep. That's even happening to YT TV, who lost subscribers in the first quarter of this year (I haven't seen the 2nd or 3rd quarter numbers).
I learned that lesson when I cut the cord on October 8, 2010. I'm already in the second phase of cord cutting. Earlier this year, I cancelled Netflix and Hulu, because I just wasn't watching them any more and the cost of no-ads watching is growing too quickly.
This is the truth! I don’t miss cable tv at all.
The first chance I can get rid of Spectrum, I am gone. The way they treat their long-term customers should be illegal . Their pricing is next to hiway robbery. Can't wait until I can say goodbye.
We've cut back to 2 streaming services. We have Roku on all our TV's.
Same here plus we got TH-cam TV. Comcast had risen to $300/month! Just for cable and internet. I just dropped internet since they were twice as high as Earthlink.
For far too long, cable companies have held their customers captive, making it difficult to switch providers. They've failed to ensure a competitive and enjoyable internet experience.
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.
Amazon Prime and Peacock only. No other subscriptions. We just don’t have time to watch TV much.
With the high cost of everything I'm about to switch to my local library for Internet and DVDs to watch.
I have both 📼📀💿
Occasionally use them new ones especially Japan
Collection of ,80,90 ,2000 and 2010 to now
I started with Firesticks, switched to ROKO. ROKU Ultra in living room, ROKU 4k's in the other rooms.
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.
Call and ask for "the retention department" and you can get it down to 100MPS which is cheaper. I did and locked me in for 3 years on pricing!!! I pay $30.00 a month now for 100MPS. Be sure to ASK for promotions. Don't call or talk to billing...they can not help with this.
@@kidhenderson8260 Thank you! I don't like paying for something I will never use.
I received 2 rate increase so far in 2024. They (supposedly) raised the speed but I didn't ask or need the increase. I think they do that to try and justify their continuous rate increases.
@@dennismccowan5375 They never justified anything before. :)
@@dennismccowan5375 I would recommend what I stated in my previous comment if you have spectrum. You just need to ask for the right department. Also do you need the speed?:
We have a Roku on every TV and love them.
I’m loyal to the Roku products because of how simple and uncluttered the UI is. Whenever I see a demo of fire stick, Apple TV etc it always looks like a giant mess.
I now pay for Cable Internet (with phone) what I paid in 2019 for 'Triple Play'. They wonder why I dropped TV (where most of what I wanted was on a tier ABOVE)?
I have Netflix that I got to just watch a couple of series. No Choice. Verizon fibre is still coiled on the pole down the block. Hint I don't want MORE stuff I don't watch. I want al-a-carte
In May, I cut the cord from Xfinity and moved to AT&T Fiber. It was 100% over 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.
Our new Roku TV lags when compared to our stand alone 7-year-old Roku Ultra.
I have been searching for a regular TV and cannot find one. That is what I prefer and plug in whatever else I want and can replace those devices when they stop working.
My device is a PC. Works great for me.
We use Roku. Started with a Roku 3, now using a Roku Streaming Stick 4K with our old Vizio “dumb” tv that we purchased around 2014. When the tv eventually needs to be replaced, we will replace it with a Roku tv.
I started with Roku on the living room and master bedroom tv, firestick on a guest room. Liked the layout on firestick, switched all to that
Roku is my favorite and has been since they came out.
Just bought a Sony Bravia Google TV. Still using my Apple TV because, well, that sucker is fast. Disabled the Google TV on the Sony to eliminate the annoying home screen. Happy for now!
We gave up Comcast/Xfinity over 2 years ago for cable TV and Voip phone.
We have had the Xfinity internet since.
Now we are moving to another state
in a month and will use T Mobile for
Internet and probably wireless cell phone service app. 😅
We use one streaming service at a time and binge watch favorites. We will keep Peacock until we finish watching all the three Chicagos in the can that we missed because we got rid of television and cable a very long time ago.
I got to enjoy Spectrum Fiber for about 10 months before Hurricane Helene wiped it out. And now there is no time frame as to when or if Spectrum will be back in my area. Thankfully I kept my Starlink equipment and it is working great. Cancelled Spectrum as well and probably won't go back to them even if their infrastructure is fixed.
*StarLink: Florida Man is a smart man.*
We didn’t have any internet options in the complex I live in. We were slaves to Spectrum and I was paying 85 dollars a month just for internet through Spectrum. Our local internet provider finally was able to get a line into our complex and everyone was offered 40 dollars a month for internet and just about everyone switched over. I’m saving 45 dollars a month and every penny saved helps in this over priced country we live in!!!!!
Try Japan 😂
My family cut the “cable TV” cord 15 years ago. We purchase internet service from the lowest bidder each year and use a TV antenna to supplement what we watch free LG TV on the internet on our smart television. Cable TV is a thing of the past and now there are multiple internet service providers that will compete on price and capacity to provide our internet service…we are paying less per month than we did five years ago by bidding one provider against the others each year.
PS, we had AT&T for a provider 1st, which they will NEVER be utilized again.......
It's getting to be hard to buy a TV thats NOT a smart TV. Same thing happens with cars. Not very easy to buy a small car. They keep telling everyone that SUV's are what people want. Options are not there.
Sceptre TV's are non smart your welcome 😊
Two years ago I was laid off from Xfinity. When my almost free service rolled over, I quickly cut cable but kept Cellular and internet. I have a Roku TV and Samsung tablets. I don't watch broadcast TV. Netflix is all I pay for additionally. I never support Disney too much DEI nonsense.
I love the Ruku channel on my TCL TV and Pluto TV
Have 3 Rokus...Ultra, Premiere and stick
They added $10 to my mobile phone bill without notice. They Forced an $18 sports package on me then lost it to a satellite company and have not reduced my bill. I'm supposed to get 400 mbps internet speed but only receive 92. Not too shocked they are losing customers.
I’m an AppleTV guy, but my smart TVs, I use the native OS. Once I’m in to a particular streaming service, all of my preferences follow regarding of platform OS
Comcast just raised my internet from $70 to 90. 70 is close to 50 so that's OK, but 90 might as well be 100 and that's not OK. They do have cheaper plans. You drop 90% of the speed to save a whopping $30. It's ridiculous to lose so much speed but not lose much cost.
Comcast just sent me an email that my rate is increasing in January (AGAIN!!!). No... it isn't because I am done. They already went up about 6 months ago and I am paying $157 just for internet and channels 2,5,7,9 and some other junk channels I can't find without a map and free on demand channels I didn't ask for, or want. Will be trying TMoble. My brother lives about 7 blocks from me - but the next State over, his bill decreased from $200+ to $50 by switching to TMobile. The Gov't needs to step in. Oh, but they are just as greedy. They claimed I was already getting the best deal. Smh!
Currently using T-Mobile 5G WiFi for $50/mo. for maybe up to about 45 mbps. Going to fiber for $50/mo for up to 250mbps. Started streaming with Apple TV years ago. Changed to Firestick maybe 5 yrs ago so I can side load apps.
One streaming service and Roku on all my tvs
I live in an apartment that has a lock on Comcast-no satellite dishes or antennas allowed do no Starlink or external antenna. Have a antenna in my window and am stuck with expensive Comcast internet. Cut my cable tv and use Philo and hulu basic. Fills all my needs but there has to be a cheaper way.
There is, but it requires sailing the high seas. Not everyone wants to take that risk, of course.
@@LatitudeSky back in the late 00s,I sailed those seas and got a cease and desist order from Uncle Bill in Redmond. I bo longer sail those seas .
And switch to who? Some unreliable cellphone modem? Satellite? I'm paying $86 a month for 300mbs from Comcast. And I actually get 359mbs. I think that's very reasonable considering the alternatives in my area.
I pay $90 for 950 from Xfinity. I think what I pay is too high, but you, wow, you are getting robbed compared to my bill.
I did cord cutting 2.0 in 2020. Use Roku.
I have switched from cable internet to T-mobile 5G internet. I guess that I am part of the trend. The future seems to be jigsaw puzzles for me!
I've never owned a RokU Player ... I use Samsung Smart TVs in my home theater and bedroom. I use a LG Smart TV (webOS) in my kitchen. The only "player" is use is an old WDTV Live for access to my local NAS content library.
Apple TV is our primary devices at both our homes, with Roku sticks as secondary.
Playing with Fire (4K stick), which is ok except for all of the ads and it seems to need more frequent app restarts.
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.
I never transitioned from VCRs to DVDs or DVD recorders and I did not transition to streaming. There are more commercials on streaming than free broadcast TV
I got a Roku TV and an Antenna that is more than enough contents for me to watch. No pay streaming. Two cell lines and 5g internet cost all of $100.
Cable service was initiated around 1980 in the city where I
I pay for three Roku and Apple TV getting the new Roku ultra Tuesday
I am currently trying to wean myself from having internet provided at home altogether. I do not have cable tv. My goal will be to eventually use the data plan on my phone for all of my needs.😊
Fiber came to my area for $50 a month compared to spectrums $89. I'm pretty happy with it, since lightening won't travel into home on fiber. I've had 3 firesticks in use for a while now and a outdoor antenna 10 feet off the ground, which since switch over to digital signal, gives me all the local ota channels. Yes it is grounded. There are a lot of free with commercials programming to watch on firestick. 100 mbps speed is enough. BTW, Spectrum lowered their price to same as fiber in my area,and will match fibers price if you call to cancel.
No paid services for me!
Cut the cost, reduce some ads and customers will come back
I love videos like this and how people say theyre cutting their cable tv services to save money. 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.
Who cares if it costs the same.
You get less adds and you get to choose a-la carte items to watch. The value proposition is BETTER.
@jmanakajosh9354 cable/satelitte includes on demand. So you get the same value proposition for the most part. 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.
Comcast is like BIG government, to much overhead, to many underlying costs, they will never be able to get as cheap as non-cable companies. It's all about the money, and the content, the content for the most part on TV today SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to cut Spectrum internet. But living in 96704, rural Hawaii Island, Spectrum is the only choice. It's Spectrum or nothing at all. No T-Mobile, Hawaiian Telcom fiber, waiting for Amazon. Those websites to find internet services are useless.
I only have internet with spectrum. I haven't had cable in 10 years. I have amazon prime video with my prime membership, but I never watch it. I do pay for TH-cam premium.
Ditched spectrum Internet and TV. Went with tds internet fiber , vastly more reliable than spectrum. Have never had an outage whereas spectrum was quite frequently
Went with Hulu plus live TV. Very satisfied with TDS and Hulu
Spectrum still sending email trying to get me back. Hate that trees are dying to allow spectrum to send me msil.
I used Disney plus and TH-cam TV
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.
5G has nothing what so ever to do woth cable internet.
I've always had just the free streaming services for the last 10 years until about 3 years ago when I joined Sling so I could have TCM again. One is enough for me. I never lack for entertainment.
Xfinity is my only option for high speed internet. 5G home internet isn't a good option where I live because mobile data speeds are subpar where I live lol
In the hierarchy 5G internet is only higher than DSL, It's mostly being phased out, and satellite. Broadband and fiber are much better. You would get 5G if you have no other options and you manage to qualify because you don't want satellite or DSL speeds.
@@alanvallazza9781
Starlink speeds are in the 200mbs with 20-40 ms.
With the success of the starship launch.
The price should drop drastically.
Looks like Fiber is going to get more expensive in America
I started with my smart TV, but it started to reduce the channel, and the “smart” features lost support as TV got older. So I switched to ROKU and haven’t looked back. I won’t buy a “smart” TV again if I can avoid it, just a good TV and use a ROKU. 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.
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.
[ xxx ] = edit
AppleTV is our main UI. We don’t use anything else.
Hi it’s Paul . I dropped xfinity but it Comcast . I went with ATT Air internet because I do not have fiber optic not available in my area
I pay half what with xfinity with ATT . I used both Roku and fire stick . I get discounts on apps by email
I use Google TV with Chromecast and also have Fire TV sticks.
I just use my phone and Chromecast.
Having a shared TV does not make logging into a TV convenient
I pay for groceries before streaming services, thus the cut back effect.
What do you think of "Apollo TV" streaming service?
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.
Well maybe the cable providers will think twice about their ridiculous rates. If not, I guess they’ll go out of business.
Same with subscription services that keep increasing their rates. Got rid of Max last year and Apple TV this year. I refuse to support those companies.
I like Google TV,,,,Cox Has 250MB Down and 25MB UP for $49.95 which includes Cable Modem/ Router, competition from wireless is working
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.
I don't have the time to watch more than 2 paid streaming services. Amazon and TH-camTV. The rest of the streaming services are ad supported. All the paid streaming services are just repeats of the others. I've got 500 movies recorded on TH-camTV.
I have a Samsung but found the Tizen OS a bit clunky, now have an Apple TV+ plugged into it.
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! .
In my area Spectrum internet is fast and cheap. TV not so much.
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!
Check out starlink, 400 plus in fees and hardware... I am sure the monthly bill will be very high. Musk is a con man and greedy, why help him out?
I never subscribed to cable or any other pay
television. Reason being my career was in over-the-air television. Since I had
to watch the stations as part of my job, I had little interest in watching
television when I was not working. Besides, there are many other things I can
do that are more interesting, healthy and rewarding. Even walking behind a lawn
mower provides some exercise and fresh air.
Cable service was initiated around 1980 in the city where I

Love my Xfinity fiber to home it's that or starlink
Discovery + paramount + and peacock is all I pay for everything else like tubi and freevee is all I need
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 got Roku stick.
Google tv streamers and Rokus, and Tizen on 1 tv
If I could buy dial-up internet for twenty bucks a month, my cable provider would never see me again, I already don't buy TV from them. More options than ever seems like hyperbole though, I remember the nineties when internet providers were all over the place. Seemed like anyone with a spare bedroom was setting up servers.
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
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 cancelled TH-cam TV
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.
Well? These greedy companies got what the deserve, as far I can see.
Been on the mobile home internet I'm priced locked at $50
Comcast’i pay $290.01
Do you consider having Paramount on Amazon having 2 services?
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.
The fees for the local networks are going to be more than $25.
I prefer the android system, it's very friendly.
Cord cut over a dozen years ago. Used to have netflix and Amazon. Netflix became too woke and expensive, dropped them. same went for Amazon on the last price increase. I pay for zero streaming services. I get all content from free providers or DVD/Bluray rentals from the library. Gaming does not require high data rates, it needs low latency. Every year I renegotiate my cable internet rate to keep the price down. Starlink is over 2x what I pay for cable, never going to happen unless it drops to $50 or less a month, OTA is fine for local channels, it is crazy that services charge at least $20 a month for what is still free OTA.
Too much everywhere. We don't even have time to watch the free channels.
I have a smart tv with Roku built in
I got a question for NBC News and sky news. What are the difference between the both?
The accents.
Ha ha ha, Xfinity will bite dust.
I like my Apple TV.
