[QUOTE="GoDucks349, post: 2007137, member: 750294"] I don't know if this info will be helpful, but I had a bad experience when I tried "cutting the cord". Xfinity/Comcast had been my cable provider and when I dropped the TV and kept the internet service, all of a sudden my internet speed became inconsistent and I had a lot of buffering issues. Xfinity said it was on my end and it was my problem. It's "amazing" that all the streaming services I had before dropping cable worked just fine. I made no equipment changes. Just seemed to be a "coincidence" that my internet service could no longer handle streaming. I think the term is "throttling or Internet throttling" just be aware. I'd recommend running some internet speed tests before you cut cable and document those speed tests then make sure you are still getting the same speed after you cut cable. [/QUOTE]
