- joezydeco 9y agoI'm more curious to know what percentage of Netflix subscribers are reliant upon a cable-based ISP (Comcast, WoW, etc) for their service.
- Spivak 9y agoEnough that the people who aren't are a probably a rounding error. What ISPs don't also sell cable?
- downrightmike 9y agoTrue story: because the ISPs are continuing the tactic of data caps. You go over your data cap b/c of Netflix, the ISP will "forgive" that overage _if_ you purchase a cable package so you don't risk going over your cap.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoAs soon as Pai’s Ruling is published on The Federal Register, your ISP will charge Netflix $cable_amount to deliver content to your home AND not have to pay license fees to the cable networks they provide. Of course, Netflix will have to pass $cable_amount along to you.
- nscalf 9y agoSounds like a good time to meet 100 of your neighbors and start a community ISP. If I were Netflix, I'd definitely be outspoken about that being a solution everyone should look into. And I might even throw some money around if I were Netflix to try and sponsor small ISP's. I couldn't think of a better way to get positive press.

- jerednel 9y agoI have a cable package only because the Internet I want is cheaper packaged with it vs without. I would drop it if I could. Hulu and Netflix are all I really want.
