Why on earth do you think they'll drop internet prices? They won't. They will continue to rise.

Outside of random live sporting matches I find TV to be a miserable chore. Programming is so cheesy or degenerate and it feels like you’re pissing your life away.

I think 5G wireless will make home cable internet access obsolete.

EPL soccer on NBCSports offers no streaming option. There are games on regular NBC which we could get with an antenna, but you need the escalated tier cable package with NBCSports to get all the games.

Anything that requires hard wires and boxes is obsolete. I’m pretty sure the cable guys know they are going out of business and are milking what they have as they invest in streaming. The last people with cable will be paying a fortune.

Same. Maybe it's the area. Comcast is a competitor but they have a horrible reputation.

Are there any don’t options for sports fans or are we stuck with Fios?
