As streaming services become more widely available and smart TV's or Tv's with crome or other devices allow easer streaming of content I think cable TV will die but my concern is that when it does the price of fast internet which is required for streaming content will go up as it is provided by the same companies now providing cable. One town in our area voted to put in T1 connections and free internet as part of their utilities but my town voted it down I now wish we hadn't. Where I live the only decent internet is with Comcast not too expensive yet but will be.
We have been streaming Comcast content as we are down here renting and something is weird with the century link dish Tv the sound doesn't track with the show and it keeps pixalating. Now that I have used it I am thinking of checking out streaming services other than Comcast and just keeping my Comcast internet when I go home. Anybody use one they like?
