I'm not sure if this is still the case but I don't think you can fast forward through commercials with recorded content on Hulu TV's basic package.

The place I’m staying this week uses Hulu Live TV so I’ve been able to give it a test run. And no way in hell am I switching to this platform. The interface drives me absolutely insane, and it lacks some features I took for granted with YouTube TV

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We’re having fiber optic installed as I type this and the new mesh system will be delivered tomorrow. There should be no fucking lags or anything after all this is finished.

Fuck you comcast.

:bammer:


I'm FIOS gigabit with an Asus Zen mesh system and it is rock solid. Didn't even need the FIOS router (which logs all DNS requests and sends them to verizon).

Locked in fiber with a "lifetime" rate a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Nice job, wease.

So far, the fiber optic is about 3 times faster than what we were able to get with cable. After I get the mesh network up and running tomorrow we’ll take full advantage of the 1G service and it’ll be about 8 times faster than what we had.

Feeling pretty good about this move.

F all you bastards who have access to fiber. Cable's my only option unfortunately. Fuck comcast indeed. I did, however, cut the cord a few months back and loving it. Should have done it years ago.

Youtube TV base plan went up from $64.99/mo to &72.99/mo. Guess they gotta pay for that exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket somehow.

Have you asked yourselves what specifically you need it for?
