I have a non cable ISP.  Straight fiber capable of a gigabit.

Only time I watch network television, is for football.   My OTA picture quality is MUCH better than the Comcast/Direct TV signal.  Cable signal looked like Minecraft, in comparison.  Sucks watching at someone's house with cable.

Everything else is ultra/4k.  Why would I change a show in the middle, when it doesn't have commercials?

There is a new format that should have OTA broadcasting 4k within a year.  Cable/satellite would be like switching to AM radio, that forces you to go through a time share presentation, to listen to your show.

As far as capacity. At any given time the internet is 40% Netflix.  They are dropping drains in Main/satellite locations to keep traffic off the internet.

You are correct that cable ISP's will use Net neutrality  to charge you for streaming.  I don't use a cable based ISP.  If I did, I would use a proxy.

I have so much commercial free, higher quality tv, that it's downright evil.   ;-)

To each his own.  I'd pay much more for what I have than I'd pay for cable.  I don't mind keeping the extra $1500 a year, but it has nothing to do with that.

I paid $500 for a 60 inch Samsung 4k tv.  Cheaper than the $2600 I laid out when HDTVs came out.  Cheap.

Streaming isn't crappy. I prefer 4k, and the higher signal quality of OTA.
