Well, the difference is canceling Cable TV vs cancelling EVERYTHING — which means you are then out hunting for internet.
I have BasicTalk, it’s cheaper than the cable company’s offering of cable based phone.
The issue of local channels is also there, but that’s $10/mo. People will have different preferences.
Bottom line is . . . you have to have a high speed source of internet and cable is usually/often it. We have to be careful how we phrase this. “Shut off Cable!” doesn’t mean shut off cable. It means keep cable (for internet) and have no cable tv channels.
Yeah, typed that on my phone, should have reviewed better.
The two are really separate. “Cable” - hybrid fibre/coax network, is more of the transport medium for multiple services. The “cable company” provides the POP.
Unfortunately, TW (now “Spectrum” via Comcast merger) is my only realistic option for HSI.
The cable channel networks are now receiving none of my cash at least.
