Suddenly there are pleny of options for "cord cutters." For a long time I've hoped we could order a la carte and just pay for the channels we want. Yeah, yeah, that would mess with their whole advertising business. Boo hoo.
The entire story is here, but below is a brief re-cap. We might be joining the cord cutting ranks because Comcast is really rubbing us the wrong way lately. Their new X-1 platform is starting to look like a cruel joke. Their internet speeds are hard to beat, however.
