Anecdotally: I never plan on subscribing to any traditional TV service (Cable, Satellite, etc). I can watch all of my shows online, between Hulu and Netflix. Also, I never plan on getting a traditional landline, as my cell phone coupled with Skype and Google Voice does the job quite nicely.
The only way I will get either of the two above mentioned services is if it's bundled inexpensively in a home data package (ie. Verizon FiOS or AT&T Uverse), because bandwidth is all that I really want/need.
- metageek 16y agoBandwidth is all I really want, too, but I don't have good options for it. I'm about 15,000 feet from my CO, so the DSL I used to have was limited to 384kbps, and would flake out when it's hot. Comcast provides something like 14Mbps, and is more reliable than DSL, but still not reliable enough for me to trust their phone service. (I have kids; if I call 911, I want to be sure I'll get through.) I would consider getting unbundled IP from Comcast if it were available at a reasonable price, but it isn't, so I keep paying the $13.95/mo for my statutory minimum cable (just the stuff I could get over the air). I sometimes get calls from Comcast, advertising their voice service. One time I explained I needed something reliable; they told me they had 93% reliability. And they seemed to think this was a good thing.
