 I can use the PS3 to watch TV on the TV

 

Wouldn't it be easier to cut out the middleman and just watch TV on your TV directly? 

Also, who needs grainy Hulu resolutions when you can record full HD on your DVR?

   Time Warner has raised cable costs to 55 dollars and that's for basic plus a handful of crap expanded channels I don't want like MTV and VH1.  Yes, I only pay for high speed internet and watch whatever I want on the PS3 for free either through hulu, or if they neglect to offer me an ad supported way to watch TV shows on the pirate bay.

   It is REALLY easy to stop paying the 55+ dollar cable tax once you put your mind to it.  Hulu and other similar sites at CBS, Fox and the like make it even easier.

   My cable bill is 25 dollars for 10mb/s high speed internet and I watch all the shows I want just fine, how about yours?

400 mb/s. Is that good? My wireless is only 100 mb/s.
Still feels damn slow.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

   oops I meant Megabytes not bits, came out wrong.  Sometimes I get as high as 15,000 k/s but only when its 4 in the morning and theres noone else on the line.

 

  Also if you're outside the states that would explain your better internet.  Even in metro areas in the US we have laughably bad high speed.  While people in Korea and Europe are pulling close to being able to stream 1080p high def content we're still in the 480p if you're lucky content dark ages.

  If you are indeed from Tennessee  and are getting THAT much more speed then I feel quite ashamed of San Diego and California in general.  You'd think the state of Google, Apple and all the rest of silicon Valley could manage to match the southeast....sadly my cable is the fastest internet available in San Diego, fin monopoly provider system (DSL is even worse at 6MB/s tops)

 go to www.speedtest.net  it will give you an output that will tell you how fast your internet is.  I guess its a light use time of the day because I got 16,000kb/s when running it just now.  Still want faster though :D

Damn, Time Warner charges me 50 bucks a month for 10mbps. =\  They're also the only option here unless you want AT&T dsl, and I live in freakin San Diego City. Are internet options normally this limited? I grew up away from the city and I thought we were limited because of that fact. Now it seems limited everywhere.
