Today's Cable TV May Not Be Better But It Sure Is More Expensive

According to Parks Associates, a market research firm, 63 percent of U.S. households with broadband connections subscribed to at least one over-the-top video service at the end of September, up from 57 percent at the beginning of 2015. It's not clear exactly how many consumers have abandoned cable completely, because many people who subscribe to over-the-top services use them to complement pay TV.
