I can't understand why there would be a lot of complete cord cutting since often cable companies can provide high-speed internet connection at lower prices than telephone companies.
Unless everyone is using their cell phones to watch movies.
How sad if that is something that more and more people find acceptable. If so, they're going to have to eliminate the Oscar for cinematography.
There’s nothing on, and it’s too expensive.
anyone who creates a company that puts together a cut the cord package and sets it up for residential WILL MAKE A BILLION DOLLARS!
Start at my house!!
Al Gore is very proud of how well his baby has done.
Hard to believe, but 23 short years ago we were debating this:
World: Extended article looks at the future development of the information superhighway and poses the question does it already exist in the form of the Internet. The Internet is claimed by many to be able to handle any application thrown at it and the Internet is the ideal infrastructure. Article looks at the capabilities of the Internet, international control of the Internet, commerce and the Internet and telecoms companies and the Internet.
and the coolest thing of all is we get to keep our raw html skills sharp here on FR. No WYSIWYG editors for us tough guys and dames!
We cut the cord about 6 years ago.
Who in their right mind would keep renting a fleet of cars when only about 2 or 3 of them actually ran?
It’s really the same difference with cable/satellite packages. What I do not like is the subsidizing of channels I loath, such as CNN.
FU CTV!
No commercials! No bad reception they said!
Then it was 2 year contracts to watch Ghostbusters 15 times a Mo for 15 years... With commercials..
We want Ala Carte and Local

Cut the cord in 2007(?)
This is a good start. Hope cable tv keeps trending down. It will push the cable companies to offer a la carte programming.
Just cut the cord yesterday. Saves me $140 per month. Magic Jack and ‘whatever’ for video.
Thanks, bfl
Must be the Lost Chord
My $200/month bundle includes landline I only use for fax, basic tv and fast 300 Mbps internet. I’m looking to cut cable in the not too distant future.
Would love to cut it, but since cable is not an option on my road, I’m stuck with broadband through the phone line, downloading at a lighting-fast 1.5 mbps, so streaming is also not an option
Cut the cord and went to a Tivo OTA box. Lots of local channels and sub channels. Coupled with Hulu, amazon Prime and Netflix; saving a whole lot of money.
I bought my first Roku in the summer of 2008. By Halloween we turned in our cable box and TV cable receivers and cut the cord.
I haven’t missed the cable at all.
If you’re still on cable, you’re the bagholder.
I need this info
Disney and Comcast are the parent corps of the malevolent MSM. Neither deserves a penny from the Citizen.
Anything they try now is far too late.
I don't miss hundreds of channels of crap loaded with commercials one bit!
