Is this the way of the future?
So really, it could be. Though they won’t go down without a fight. Cable companies are continuing to raise their prices and expand their services, such as offering up online show access or mobile apps so programs can be played while on the go. But only for customers, of course. Generally running anywhere from $40 to more than $100 per month. Yet Netflix customers are getting a similar service for $8.
The Downsides of Ditching Cable
The main downside to any streaming program is show availability. Shows can only be viewed for as long as their contract allows (but as more users sign up, the selection is growing). Additionally, an entire season has aired before streaming-only watchers can see. Our favorite programs aren’t always on the search docket. (Unless they opt for a timelier service, such as Hulu Plus.) And should the Internet ever go out, streaming customers are out of luck. Besides, Netflix can be downright glitchy. It’s app regularly has issues casting and often replays the episode that just aired. But when comparing bang vs. buck, those issues don’t seem to hold much water with the anti-cable population. In fact, their numbers are only growing stronger — which brings the question: is Netflix the new cable? Or a ground-holding trend that just can’t last? Δ Contact Us :- trendblog.guest@gmail.com
