Cord cutting revisited

[Spotcheck Billy]

While the growing trend is cutting the cord, today I signed up for the cord after DirecTV since 1997 (sorry chicos). Recent price increases, my 25 Mbps internet was too much $ and my D-i-L recently quit AY&T and lost the employee discount so our cell costs doubled.


Bundling everything with Spectrum's new 3 year price locks and I'm already saving $40/month and internet will be 500 vs the 25 Mbps

25 Mbps? Bruh was livin in the 90s

Funny thing is that has always been sufficient for the 2 of us even for occasionally streaming TV. Now my BT traffic will fly compared to previously.

I frequent lodging where the wi-fi is limited to 8/8 up/down per client.

Turns out that's totally fine. 

25 Mbps is overkill!

Yeah, people are addicted to "speed" numbers, but even 15Mbps (reliable) can do 3 HD streams easy.  For a few years I did the comcast 40Mbps plan for $25/month -  which was reliable and generally more than I could ever use.

That said...sometimes it's nice to have some extra speed.

I would take a solid 25/25 fiber connection over a 500 tier cable service. 

25 Mbps of low latency fiber >>> 500 Mbps of coax for 99% of your needs.

Has anyone here used ytubetv overseas?
