"Many are satisfied with their current provider overall, but these subscribers are aware of the other options available to them and could become actual cord-cutters if their current service does not continually meet their needs,” Brett Sappington, senior research director and principal analyst for Parks Associates, said in a statement.

The group likely to flee the eco system next, according to Parks, are somewhat heavy mobile users — they watched six hours of videos on their phone a week, compared to 2.5 hours among all U.S. broadband households.
