It is at least worth calling them up to ask. My parents were getting only 100Mb on their Spectrum connection, despite paying for 300. After they complained, Spectrum sent out a tech with a new box, and things got a whole lot better. Part of that was the upgrade from N wireless to AC for...

Sure. I was simply referring to my earlier prediction that FWA internet isn't going to stay cheap for long. That said, I do like that it is an option as I think competition keeps prices lower. Now that Google Fiber is in my neighborhood, I don't expect AT&T to raise their prices any time...

A slightly different take on the T-Mo results: https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-reports-more-growth-but-price-hikes-loom its FWA growth rate is slowing. T-Mobile added 405,000 FWA customers during the first quarter, far less than the 541,000 FWA customers it added during the fourth...

You can't start watching something 20 minutes after it started, skipping commercials as you catch up to the live broadcast, but other than that, nothing I can think of.

Yeah, it seems like there are a lot of happy customers out there, mostly due to the price: https://www.telecompetitor.com/j-d-power-5g-fixed-wireless-has-the-highest-customer-satisfaction/ I assume the prices will go up significantly at some point. There is a lot of uncertainty as to whether...

Please remind me, didn't local stations have to start paying per-sub fees to the networks at some point? I have a vague recollection of that being when the locals starting playing hardball with the cable/satellite companies.

A different survey in 2022 had similar results: https://www.highspeedinternet.com/resources/customer-satisfaction-survey-2022 "...89% are at least “somewhat satisfied.” Additionally, 89% of customers said their internet speeds meet their needs. Our data suggest that the majority of broadband...

They should have asked whether the respondents were gambling addicts. Those are the only people I know who have time to watch more than 1-2 games per week. Anyway, you'd need to look at total viewership for all televised sports in a given week to see whether the 55% number is anywhere near...

Some interesting data points: https://www.telecompetitor.com/research-finds-strong-streaming-and-broadband-satisfaction/ Given how terrible cable customer satisfaction was/is, even if we were (or are) paying as much for streaming content, it sounds like we are getting a better product at the...

It is always nice to see a fellow pedant active online. Cutting the cord originally meant ditching cable for OTA, so it made sense. Then it meant that plus watching Netflix, which ok, sure. Now it means primarily subscribing to streaming, even if it is really just cable-like services...

Like I said, I am not a lawyer. I'm just pointing out how it looks. It looks like Disney is using their market position in the stratum of content creation to give themselves an advantage over at least one competitor in the stratum of content delivery. A judge will probably say Disney can do...

So, Disney is creating a service that directly competes with a customer's service at a lower price (for now), using product packages that Disney won't sell to Fubo or almost anyone else, after withdrawing financial support for the Fubo. Additionally, they are colluding with supposed competitors...

Well, there is a competitive advantage that Disney has in owning sports channels and the distribution method that will be competing with Fubo. I'm no lawyer, but that seems unfair somehow, not that anti-trust enforcement has been a thing in a few decades or anything. Now, regular Hulu Live...

I pay $75 for 1Gig which includes MAX commercial-free. I actually tried to downgrade to $55 for 300Mb recently since I wanted to get HDR back on MAX, but AT&T Fiber said that plan was no longer available in my neighborhood. Google Fiber started digging to install fiber duct just this week as...

https://hypebeast.com/2024/4/disney-plus-always-on-streaming-channels-info Well...AST anyway.

Well, yes and no. I can stop buying Roku products, but what do I do about the Roku TV I already have that I use with an AppleTV 4K? This kind of Darth Vader "I am altering the deal..." changing of the terms and conditions, and changing the basic functionality of their products after purchase...

I'd buy a high end 24" TV if I could find one, but they don't exist.

I really hate that Roku is planning to do this, but we still unfortunately need to have alternative streaming platforms available, and having a Roku TV just saved me when my wife was trying to watch Paramount+ when the app wouldn't launch on the kitchen ATV4K for no apparent reason. As for why...

It had to be DVR. Never watched any On-demand content on D*. Probably around 2011/12.

I remember when DirecTV prevented me from Fast Forwarding certain shows. I can't remember if it was a bug or intentional.

I checked my Roku and did not see an option to enable any notifications like there are on the mobile app. :(

What kind of device does she use to watch YTTV?

It never made sense to me that so much content was streaming only. Sure, maybe you want some streaming first shows, but why not monetize whatever you produce in whatever way you can.
