DSL really? Who has DSL these days.
Google Netflix pays Comcast or Netflix pays Verizon. Netflix is paying Comcast and Verizon to 'guarantee' a good user experience. Don't you think that HBO and CBS will wind up doing the same thing?The cell companies will love it because they either get paid by the gig or performance slows after so many gig. So if you are streaming these channels you'll wind up paying more on your monthly bill or wanting to up the full speed portion of your unlimited contract. Home phone company. DSL really? Who has DSL these days.
I'm done conversing with you Luddites on the topic of internet access. If you'd like to continue the conversation, send me smoke signals or call me with your 2G cell phone if you have one.
OK, lets get back to helping each other, and not arguing. I am hit or miss when it comes to ESPN. Sometimes I watch a game on their website and sometimes I cant. Sometimes it will block me but if I circle around on their website, and then come back to the particular game, I can get access. Anybody else w the same experience?To get access, ESPN (among other major channels) wants to know what carrier I use. Is there a cheap carrier I can use as a proxy that will suffice for their requirements? Or any other work arounds?Anybody watching the World Series? And How?
Not watching it but if I wanted it I'd look into this to add to my Roku - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/index.jsp?product=roku
For a work around, you could try using Tor/Onion routing, with a capable browser.
On point.http://www.businessweek.com/videos/2014-10-23/think-cutting-the-cord-will-set-you-free-not-so-fast
However, if you "cut the cord" i.e., eliminate cable TV, then you're only paying for Internet service which will allow you to stream TV/movies through it without any significant additional cost.
