I've been thinking about dropping my Spectrum cable TV subscription and switching to Hulu.
Hulu has everything I want and it will be $40 a month cheaper.
I would have to keep the Spectrum cable internet though.
Does anyone know if, now that net neutrality is dead, they would legally be able to slow down my access to Hulu?
It would be an obvious way to force cord cutting customers back into their cable TV system.

See how easy that was!
