Traditional TV Toppling and VPN Streaming Liberation

Published On: March 9th, 2018 Filed Under: Safety, Security, SlickVPN News, VPN, WIFI

It’s a sign of things to come for traditional pay TV companies.

Cable and satellite subscription-based companies lost over half a million subscribers in the 4^th quarter of 2018– a combined loss of 560,000 video subscribers according to industry analysts.

This loss is on top of the 3^rd quarter of 2017’s loss of 943,000 customers.

And where did those viewers go? In a word: streaming.

The 4^th quarter of 2017 saw a surge in streaming video service subscribers—773,000, to be exact, more than outpacing the loss of more traditional viewership in the same quarter.

This is part of the continuing transition away from inflexible, bloated cable and satellite bundles into the world of flexible, cheaper streaming alternatives.

Despite any concerns about the FCC and it’s rollback of Net Neutrality— streaming growth continues at a lightning pace.

The consumers have spoken: they don’t want anyone deciding what they can and cannot watch.

Get VPN Protection and Streaming Freedom

Part of the worry of net neutrality repeal involves rules that could allow Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to give preference to certain partners when it comes to streaming.

Outright blocks are possible.

Right now streaming happens pretty much as you’d like, but who knows what will happen later?

And of course, all your online activity is visible to your ISP—not a good thing, especially when they might be part of the same conglomerate seeing huge loss of subscribers.

So, protect yourself:

a quality VPN like SlickVPN protects you.

A VPN puts your online traffic in an encrypted tunnel…

so that crafty ISP can’t tell what services you are using or what content you are accessing.

Watch what you want, when you want—and don’t worry about the bundled programming those old-school media companies are pushing.

VPNs are terrific to protect your privacy—

Everything you do online is masked, encrypted, and kept away from spying eyes and hackers who might look to do you harm.

And you can protect yourself on any computer, tablet or smartphone simply by connecting to SlickVPN.

No monitoring, no throttling, and no selling of your information to third parties—because no one can see you.

The sites you visit are masked, as well as your unique identifiers.

You can access content from all over the world: geo-restricted content is available with your VPN by routing your internet connection through a country in which the content for which you are looking is available.
