Internet only IS 'canceling all of your Pay-TV service'.

But still true cord cutter mean even things no services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video as that is still a pay services and yes know about the other ways too but soon even that will not be an option once they start add data cap.
That way I can't*do it because of data cap even know I have 2 other option but there less then 6Mb here which is to slow for other in the house hold not count the grand kids BooHoo. |

Actually, many of the initial "cord cutters" replaced cable with Netflix/Online services. So it remains consistent with early usage. People may have given it other connotations since, but Netflix, Hulu and other online streaming services have always been part of that mix since it "became a thing." The cord being cut was to the CableCo/Satellite TV provider.

@SHS - You are being far too literal about cord cutters. If you want to take it to the extreme cord cutters won't have any electricity so they can't do any of this stuff.
As others have mentioned, Cord-cutters is generally taken to mean people who have cancelled cable or satellite and replace that with online streaming or downloading shows from other sources.

We are getting awfully close to breaking into Monty Python sketches.

But the true Definition when this all got started was.
Cord cutting refers to the process of cutting expensive cable or satellite connections in order to change to a low-cost TV channel subscription through over-the-air free broadcast through antenna. Not all this other Beeswax that some people keep add on top of it. Netflix, Apple TV and Hulu and some of the popular Video On Demand services that encourage cord cutting but some how they manage to get the Definition chance to suit there needs as it is not what I call the true meaning to Cord Cutting. Now we have Sling TV, DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, or Joe's service down road even know it some what cheaper it not same as free solutions that was mean be for Cord cutting. It may shock you but there are people out there that have no electricity wayner or do but it is know as Off Grid Living. Any way that how view it and see it.

So, your definition of cord cutting is unrealistic and unreasonable given the current environment. People want to watch what they want to watch without the strings of cable or satellite TELEVISION services. Has nothing to do with INTERNET service.

Sure, you're trading one paid service for another but consider the costs. In total my family was paying almost $200/mo for our cable package while already paying for Netflix and Hulu. We got rid of our cable TV and phone and kept internet service. That lowered our bill by over $100/mo. The only thing we added was SlingTV which we get a discount on for being T-Mobile customers. So overall we reduced the cost of our media consumption by about $85/mo or $1020/yr. That's not insignificant.

That may be but things will need to change as consumers need more data. People won't put up with expensive overages.

My ISP has recently begun advertising how they have no data caps. I've never heard anyone complain about being capped by my provider. They offer 100 mbps, 1 gbps, and 10 gbps and that's both upload and download speed. I would think if my ISP were limiting people with a cap some people would have hit it by now and be calling the ISP out on their claim. I'm not saying other providers are not capping data, just pointing out that not all of them are.

@blade - You can get 10 Gbps bidirectional internet! Where do you live and who is your ISP?

Cox Cable here has a soft data cap but to my knowledge they don't enforce it unless you constantly are grossly exceeding it.

I looked it up and our monthy soft cap is 1TB. According to their graph we've only gone above 500GB once. The rest of the year was well below that.

I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee and my ISP is EPB. The 10 gbps is a relatively new option and is very pricey right now ($299 a month). The 1 gbps was first offered in 2010 for $350 a month and is now $69.99. If enough customers sign up for 10 gbps (not likely anytime soon) the price will begin to decrease.

The $299 10 gbps is actually for residential customers only. The 10 gbps business plan is much much more expensive ($1,500 - $9,000 depending on the size of the business). |

I got curious and went looking at the Silicondust web site. The info on the DVR service is amazingly vague. It talks about how you don't need an "always on PC", but it never talks about where the recording app is running. Presumably it's on the HDHR itself? You obviosly have to provide some sort of storage, but I couldn't find any specs. I don't see a USB, eSATA, or Firewire connector on any of the HDHR models. The only interface seems to be Ethrnet, so it must need some sort of SMB/NFS NAS (which is a type of "always on PC" in my book, but I don't speak very good marketese). Unless they're doing Ethernet-attached-SCSI... |
