Cable Going Down

How often are you frustrated with you cable? How about your cable bundle that include the phone service as well as internet? The cable companies will single handedly bring more business to the heart doctors and increase stress levels. They are charging astronomical prices for packages where most of the channels are not watched. The worst part of it is that the bill is always changing so you never know what you are going to get charged next month. Well consumers are finally taking a stand and cutting the cord. Many people do not have home phone services or landlines anymore. Most of them have cell phones and use internet phones to talk long distance. Even with Netflix and Roku, there are more competition coming to the market. Aereo is accelerating the expansion of its $8-a-month service providing broadcast television over the Internet. The service started in New York last year and expanded to Boston and Atlanta this spring. It has announced plans to expand to Utah on Aug. 19 and Chicago on Sept. 13. On Thursday, Aereo announced plans for three additional markets – Miami on Sept. 2, Houston on Sept. 16 and Dallas on Sept. 23.
