If you haven't already, someday – maybe soon – you will cut the cord, and when you do you will discover things about your relationship with television, the internet, and your own personal finances you probably never knew. It's not always an easy process or pleasant journey, but I can tell you that in the long run it's worth it, and you'll probably never look back. Okay, you might glance back on occasion, but it's unlikely that you'll ever go running back into cable's arms.
Before I share my take, I think it's worth clarifying what I mean by 'cable cutting'. In most cases, there's no longer a cable to cut. Modern cable TV providers use fiber Optic cable now, and some do not even run coaxial cable through the home; they use Wi-Fi to connect their 'cable' boxes, and then share a cable TV signal throughout the home.
