I have wifi through Spectrum, but no cable or satellite. If I want to watch anything I stream it. My TV is hooked up to an antenna and I connect it to my computer through hdmi.

“I have wifi through Spectrum, “

I envy you! The house we sold had Spectrum and I had no idea how lucky we were until our new house can’t get Spectrum. Spectrum is unlimited, and I assumed all providers were, too. They certainly are NOT.

They advertise “unlimited”, but after you’ve reached a certain number of GBs, you’re throttled back to a level that essentially is unusable. Spectrum doesn’t do that.

What is interesting these days is that in Spectrum cable TV markets even if you don’t have cable TV you are still paying child groomers like Disney.

Why?

In the case of a company like Spectrum the non cable TV services make huge profits while the cable TV division is a loser.

That means that when you subscribe to the non cable services you are subsidizing the cable TV division.

Spectrum keeps the losing cable TV because they use it to market their other profitable products to a “captive” audience in “package” deals.

If they got out of the cable TV business entirely they would anger their cable TV customers and lose a lot of non cable TV revenue.

Bottom line: Spectrum is between a rock and a hard place—meanwhile non cable TV subscribers continue to subsidize cable TV.
