And no one seems to notice what all this stuff costs, either to pay for or for the monthly service and/or for the amount of data usage. Our modern generation has had all this for free for all their lives (while daddy paid the bills) that they expect it all, just like free air and water. Things are beginning to change a bit as many folks are beginning to realize the the internet is NOT free.
Absolutely. The reason into my connection foray was a simple question to the domestic accountant, "How much are we paying Mediacom for Internet and cable TV?" "$180 something" was the answer. I about fell out of my chair. It wasn't too long ago that was a car payment. I halved the bill by installing Direct TV and Century Link DSL. Next, I will clamp off Direct TV since what they broadcast is the same stuff they have shown for months. I'll install a good broadcast antenna and be able to get the locals. If I add Hulu or similar, I'd bet I won't miss a thing.
