40 is fine. You can stream HD content with that. Unless you’re downloading a lot of big files, speed is highly over rated. It’s more important to be reliable. I’d rather pay $19 for 40 than $70 for 500.

No problem. Be aware that they take their cut of the projected savings up front. At first it might not seem like a good deal, but it is over the long haul. I’ve been using them for about 3 or 4 years now and it adds up. Plus it feels good sticking it to the ISP for their shady practices and constant rate raising. And you don’t have to do any of the work.

Southern California

$54.99 for 500Mbps down and 25Mbps up

That’s with Spectrum being my only option. I use BillShark to renegotiate every year, so I’m not sure what it would be normally

Holy smokes. Got sucked into that one. So is she still the only one that can crack Denuvo? You mentioned 2, is the other not very active or something?

I’d even say that going to the theater sucks balls. The picture and sound quality usually sucks compared to a high quality download on a 75" 4k TV. Even a high bit rate 1080p video looks better than the theater.

Unfortunately Lemmy is not immune to this behavior. I made a comment about what I think of the current general political situation in the U.S. and some loon flew off the handle, throwing around the standard anti Fox tropes and name calling

Some people just can’t help themselves. Especially when it comes to politics and the like. They are incapable of having a discussion and all they do is attack and name call. Their identity is wrapped up in their political views and they can’t think for themselves. They come from every side and are everywhere.

People are hesitant to recommend good providers. If they have one that works well for them and that isn’t well known, they don’t want anyone messing it up. Some providers don’t even want people using their name on forums. For good reason too. Just need to look at what the YouTube gonads didn’t with the whole -Kodi streaming box free TV videos plastered all over YouTube. Made it way too easy for The Man to track down who the providers were and bust them.

Doesn’t looks like this is available for Linux? I have older hardware running Mint that this would be perfect for. Am I just missing it?

Live sports is all about IPTV. Just need to try a few out and see what works for you. And don’t pay for more than a month at a time, unless you’re willing to gamble. Luckily these providers are pretty cheap.

I don’t have an issue with any of this. Private Business owners can sell their products or services to whoever they want. Don’t see what the big deal is. If you don’t like it, there’s plenty more competition willing to take your money.

Don’t forget the shitty product too. TV and movies are mind numbingly bad these days. Sure there’s the occasional good/great show or movie, but the vast majority are just shit. Add that to everything else you pointed out and it’s no wonder they’re in trouble and keep hiking the fees.

Early GenXer here. Am the same way. Have always hated ads in any form. Except maybe print ads. Especially in the old days in mags like Electronic Fun & Games or something. Even targeted ads are useless to me. If there’s something I’m interested in, I’ll search it out and find what I need. I don’t need some company scraping my data and telling me what I want. I run a Pihole, use ad blockers and YouTube specific apps to block ads and always will

That’s my strategy too, but it seems like people just can’t help themselves from dropping some political comment in non political discussions. It’s so tiresome.

The “download complete” Godzilla roar using the GoZilla! download manager. And using WinAmp to play my newly downloaded mp3’s.

The documentation was put together by people that have a detailed knowledge of things and have lots of technical experiencr. I have a feeling that if some things are missing, it’s probably because they assume that someone setting this up already had a certain level of experience and therefore would already know what to do. More than likely they didn’t feel that every tiny step was needed as there would be a certain amount of common knowledge already.

Yeah, and my food (Nutro) not only keeps increasing their price, but lowering the amount. Went from 32lb bag to 28lb

I did this with my old router and as others have said it effectively cuts throughput in half. Depending on your usage though it might not be a big deal. I only connected mine so I could get a signal in the front yard. It’s fine for surfing the web or watching YouTube
