This hilarious graph of Netflix speeds shows the importance of net neutrality

28. I quit cable and satellite three or four years ago. Use a digital antenna picked up from radio shack

I can receive about 32 or so channels, only a few I frequently watch anyway. 3 local PBS stations, local abc, nbc, and fox. Interesting local fox station bears no resemblance to the cable version whatsoever. Not a shred. Which is telling. Probably impossible to survive San Francisco Bar Area demographics, but even so...

Point is, I haven't missed it at all. I think it would be an important act of citizenship to quit cable/sat completely. though to be honest, my budget force the issue. the exorbitant cable and sat fees put it in the "unnecessary expense" category. But now, if suddenly I was able to afford I would not do so as an act of protest - boycotting Cable industry gives me satisfaction on several different levels. Right wing Propaganda 24/7/365 on every single "news" channel, (yes, definitely including MSNBC) and 5000 sports/shopping channels etc etc. Being forced into these ridiculous plans and still refusing to provide a low cost 'a la carte' .

Really wish there was a "critical mass" boycott of this industry, on principle. But it's not even a blip on anyones list of concerns. Oh well, just another undesirable element within the culture we live in.
