Mom has fully wireless house wide internet connectivty. She gets 150 megabits per second over a redundant set of routers with fail over and she seems pretty happy with it all. This situation was by design and I had things planned out and the equipment bought prior to her house being finished.

Today is National Cut the Cord Day. It promotes the use of wireless network connectivity for the common man ... er and woman.

It occurs each February 9th and is a vehicle by the totally inadequate and poorly run Sling TV, who have no desire to offer a COMMERCIAL FREE tier and therefore lost my business early in their meager measly notalent existence.

Streaming differs from cable in the delivery. Streaming is a public domain service whereby you attach your equipment to a live internet connection and go to town. Cable requires a dedicated connection which is ususally in the thicknet media range to private equipment.

I opt for the no commercial tiers of streaming offerings. I would much rather pay more and receive less commercial interruptions. I have had providers drop their commercial free tiers only to have me drop them with extreme prejudice.

Suffice it to say that Mom will remain wireless to provide her some modicum of freedom in her domicile. She has a lot of broadband connected equipment which operates quite well in this scenario.
