Reduced Need for Speed

We’ve all struggled with the effects of “putting all our eggs in one basket” at some point in our lives – the good, the bad, and the ugly. On the “good” side of things, it can simplify things, particularly if the basket we’ve put all those eggs in serves our needs perfectly! However, it can also spell trouble when the basket starts to fray or break from the weight of carrying all those eggs. When you rely on cable for your television and movie-watching needs, you decrease the weight of your Internet basket, which can result in cost savings as a smaller plan will fit your needs. It can also be of benefit if your Internet is overburdened for reasons within or even outside your control, as you’ll still be able to watch TV and movies until problems are resolved.

Local Sports & News Programming

Simply put, there is more complexity to offering local programming than meets the eye, with many streaming services eliminating local channels from their lineup altogether to keep costs low. Those that do invest the time and money into fleshing out their local lineups typically command a price tag similar to that of cable, which negates the cost-cutting angle of cord-cutting if that was a driving force for you.

Strong Connection

While your streaming services may experience some connectivity concerns due to high usage in your area during peak hours, or factors inside your home like equipment limitations, the cable is largely stable outside of rare disturbances due to heavy storms and the like. Many of us can’t even remember the last time the cable “went out,” and don’t even give a second thought to the fact that our favorite programs will be there when we need them!
