Eliminate the overage charge rip-off! If I reach my limit, turn the dang thing off.
Since I live in an apt, I added the local channels to my internet service, because I couldn't find an antennae to save my life.
You do realize that after a certain point, internet providers will begin restricting data plans to anyone that “cuts the cord”, right?
The big cable companies aren’t going down without a fight.
TANSTAAFL
Heck, when this archaic computer I’m using finally konks out, I’m seriously considering dumping the internet altogether. Already got rid of my dish, and I’m more than ready to ditch that second phone-line. No way I’m going to pay a cable-company for anything, as their high rates subsidize vile, left-wing networks I would never watch.
My ISP has a data cap but its actually never enforced.
You’d have stream so much to exceed it. I don’t think that’s possible as I’m a single person.
It could add up for a family though.
And what about this crapola:
(perhaps by deploying an over-the-air antenna which should probably be part of any cord-cutter’s arsenal anyway)"
Arsenal?
So now deciding on the right mix of telco options is on a part with going to war!
"Intelligent consumer" is an oxymoron. Being primarily a consumer is inherently ignorant. Being an "intelligent consumer" is no different than being a "thoughtful tic-tac-toe player" or a "strong and healthy tiddlywinker".
the net neutrality crap is also probably going to eliminate competitors to AT&T and Comcast...and so you see, the crony capitalists will continue to suck up to the government teat.
Until one day. A reckoning.
There is no free lunch. Without the cord we are ultimately back to the 1960s. 3 networks, basically, and nothing else. But the truth and is that they are all the same anyway so why not?
Always read the small print
