In my area, you have one choice for cable internet service. with the fastest internet plan and largest data cap available in my area, the data caps allow about 120 minutes of HD video daily without incurring extra fees. It seems like the cable companies are moving to a metered service where you pay for what you use, much like old-style phone service where you paid by the minute.
It looks like cable cutting is going to affect how shows are produced and provided, but overall it's a money maker for internet providers.
- RyJones 10y agoI suspect the reason Comcast pushes discounted internet with cable is to subsidize the cable subscriber number. I haven't had cable TV since they switched to digital in 2008 or 2009 here in ~Seattle. They can't sell ads against the internet-only customers, so we don't matter.
