What about high speed internet??

[rivegauche610]

In every discussion I've read about "cutting the cord" no one addresses what seems to be the elephant in a room full of blind people: if you give Comcast the finger, and cut the cord, and you don't live in a rural area with "consolation internet", how do you get your high speed internet service? We're a wired family: all the apple devices and computers, but we subscribe to Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and MLB.tv. So...?

'Cutting the cord' generally refers to cutting the TV cord, not the internet cord.

I don't understand your point. Cutting the cable usually refers to not subscribing to a TV package. I don't believe that it precludes using Comcast or TW or Verizon for internet service.

Is your point, that paying for HuluPlus, Amazon Prime, etc is equivalent to a TV subscription? For $8 to $10 per month per service, it is still lower cost than a standard TV package.

I know that. You can't not buy TV from Comcast. So...where do people get Internet when they cut the cord?
