As crappy as cable is, its internet provides a better value.
I have Cox who keeps jacking up the prices, but their internet (mid level) is at about 20 MBPS speed and 200 GB download per month. No DSL or satellite or wireless can compete with that either the speed or quantity for the price. Wireless only offers 5 GB downloads, thus making it impossible to use Netflix, etc.
My cable+internet jumped nearly $10 last year and again this year.
We cancelled back when they brought on al jazeera. Have no TV now. Just Netflix. Much cheaper and not supporting those we do not want to.
One word “Direct”
