ROKU VS CABLE
I use my cox Internet like 24/7. My cable TV I pretty much stay on the main networks ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX.... The deal is this I am paying for extended on-demand cable and I barely use it. I was looking at a video streamer by Roku basically if you want something like A&E you pay a monthly premium for that channel a bunch are free too. With cable I literally watch about 5 channels off the grid of network television.
I entered into a two year contract a few months ago which I normally never do. I have telephone internet and cable tv. I am not even sure I can down grade to just the Internet and phone since I entered that two year contract....
I totally love cox's high speed Internet I'm coming from a time of 36.6/56k so my mind is blown still with a flying 60mbps.

Hi puffy_shirt_pirate,
I am glad to hear you're enjoying your internet speed ! So far as downgrading the services you have, because you are in a 2-year price lock agreement if you downgrade the services you will be charged an early termination fee.

Im pretty sure Roku does have a decently wide spread of content. Some of it is horribly ad supported like Crackle but alot of it is either free or pay per use.

I am using the Roku streaming more and more, as TV lineup is pretty bad. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime, so there is a lot of content available. Really considering staying with internet only, as I don't enjoy paying (more and more) for a bunch of stations I would never watch.
