I resubbed to netflix

It will, though. The cable guys built their business model on the basis of being monopoly providers with gatekeeper control over the network. Those days are gone, thank God.

Unfortunately, I disagree, considering most people probably get their internet access THROUGH their cable TV provider.

I never got rid of my streaming sub, it and hulu plus cover everything I need and save me tons of fucking money. I think I pay like 80 total for internet, netflix and hulu plus. It would be like 150 for the same shit with TV to watch the shows I want and access to enough channels to see shows and movies that are on netflix.

That is true, I know I do at least. But with wireless technologies coming up pretty quick, those download speeds are pretty good too. I can only imagine what it will look like in 10 years. My Verizon 4g wireless hotspot, routinely gets 6-10 MB up AND down, and occasionally it gets into the 20MBit area.

Obviously it isn't available everywhere, and I am capped at 4 GB (with an option to get 10 GB limit), but eventually when this becomes more common place, I see that going the way long distance did a few year back (for those of us who even remember having to have a long distance carrier on our phone line).
