Re: long live cutting the cord
It's a dumb way if one was to continue with previous browsing habits. It does make sense if one can limit their usage. Mobile data plan seems a necessity today (voice only next to impossible to get nowadays) while stationary Internet access is luxury (and extra spend some can't afford). The same thing has happened to landline and cell phones before. Not there yet myself, but if Comcast has given me another reason (I'm down to Economy Internet) I'll reconsider my options.
On the bright side, once the cord is cut the risk of my box turning overnight into Windows 10 zombie is nill;)
