Everything was fine ...I was happy with what I paid for analog cable + internet, with no cable boxes and my own modem and DVR. I had no choice but to get boxes, once they went digital in 2010, which also rendered my DVR all but useless. My bill climbed steadily from around $70 to $212.
Switched to satellite and thought it was awesome. For a while. Then that bill climbed through the roof too. Had no desire to keep playing their games, and cut the proverbial cord.
Have been so much happier with OTA and streaming. Knowing I can drop or change services at any time, just makes it that much better. I'm still paying more than that $70 I was paying in 2010, but I can live with $65 internet plus whatever streamers I care to use. |

Logarithmic increase soon?I'm expecting a logarithmic increase in traditional linear TV rates soon. $800/month for basic cable anyone? Oh, don't forget those rental fees. |

I can hear it nowWho thinks this phrase has actually been uttered in a boardroom meeting "time to double down on the high prices and lackluster customer service" ? |

Mostly true..As a sports fan, I'd have to echo this as well..
If Cable offered me the channels I get from YouTubeTV at their $35 flat pricing, I'd be a cable sub. I refuse to participate in their extortion pricing, package schemes and nickel and diming for decade old junk tv box hardware, etc.
They did this all to themselves honestly. |

Lack of 4K content is killing cable and pay tradional cable networksYou pay $1000 for a 4K TV, plus the $200 a month for cable, but have almost no 4K content on that $200 service. Netflix or Amazon prime have more 4K content than all of the pay cable networks combined. |

Options, options, options...There wouldn't be as much cord cutting without the alternatives that are available now. |
