I just recently dropped AT&T U verse video and "cut the cord" so to speak.  Anything that I watch on TV (which is very little) I can get by other means.  I just can't see paying a subscription for television service when I don't watch more than 95% of the channels "given" to me.

 

As far as satellite television, I've been there done that.  Direct-TV was decent, but it would drop out on occasion, especially if we are experiencing bad thunderstorms.  Dish Network was even worse because their dish has to pick up multiple satellites and has to be aligned "perfect".  Disruptions in service during a storm were just as bad if not worse.

 

As far as internet speeds, I think that it's over rated.  Comcast claims these higher speeds, but I have my doubts.  I haven't had a way to test speeds, but it doesn't really matter to me.  The speed that I get with U verse internet meets my needs just fine.  I can have my wife streaming a movie in one room, my daughter streaming something else in another room and still have acceptable download speeds for large files that I download on occasion.  Sure a faster speed would be nice, but it's not a need for me right now.
