Americans are cutting the cord and ditching traditional cable and satellite television subscriptions in favor of cheaper online streaming options at a faster rate, according to the latest survey.
In 2019, nearly 5.5 million customers who subscribed to large cable and satellite companies canceled their packages - a sharp jump from the 3.2 million subscribers who jumped ship the previous year.
The numbers reflect the increasingly high cost of programming as well as installation and equipment fees that come with the traditional cable and satellite packages.
Experts say that more Americans will opt out of cable and satellite in favor of online streaming services.

But you need internet to get streaming tv. And thrice Damned Comcast has the fastest internet.
But who provides the internet connection???? The cord
hulu live and a few premium channels still paying less then i did for crappy comcast! to bad I cant drop them for internet also! since they been suing verizon to prevent competition for hi speed internet.
KLOWD TV
I hear that the next innovation is going to be something called “over the air tv”.
Whatever that is lol
I cut the cord in 2016 - got a mobile hotspot, got rid of the home phone - getting 43 channels in ocean pines, and all the internet I need for about 70 bucks a month combined
Not bad if you don’t need bandwidth for work or gaming
They can’t sue Verizon for high speed in fact they’ve partnered with Verizon on many things
I just kept the Internet and got ROKU.
COMCAST AKA XFINITY ARE ANTI TRUMP.
Get rid off the TV side and keep just the internet and get ROKU .
