• Thanks to advances in wireless technology, you’ve probably been able to break free from most of the messy cords that once cluttered your home and limited where you could access your favorite content.

  While you’re no longer tethered to your go-to devices, you may still feel tethered to your old-school cable company. Streaming services ushered in an era of cable-free bliss, but a lot of customers assume they’re stuck with their cable provider for reliable home internet, which often comes with high prices, equipment charges, long contracts, cumbersome, wired connections and not-so-great customer service.

  Until now, that is.
