Cord Cutting Guide - How to Cut the Cable Cord

Streaming services and streaming devices are ubiquitous now—allowing viewers to watch TV without cable wherever and whenever they want—and consumers across the country are freeing themselves by cutting the cord. Here's what you need to know.

Who's sharing your bandwidth?

Think of your wifi network like an umbrella. Only so many people can fit under it effectively. If your roommates are gamers, or your kids stream educational shows, they're going to use up a lot of bandwidth. The more people under one roof watching TV online, the more bandwidth you need.

Consider your needs

Speed and bandwidth aren't much of an issue if you're downloading e-books, but streaming football games while someone else streams a TV show may cause you to think twice about your monthly internet service plan. Frequent, heavy usage—from streaming video conference calls to downloading massive files—will have a measurable impact on your bandwidth and download speeds. You may want to go for the speedier plan if your household is constantly streaming TV online or someone works from home.

What do you watch?

Streaming live events like sports or awards shows demand high, reliable speeds. If your household is more into daytime soaps or game shows, you might not need the heavy duty plan. But if you're using services like Netflix, streaming movies and marathoning TV shows, you may want to think about upgrading. For a house that likes to watch tv online, speed matters.
