People who use their smartphones to watch more than six hours of video per week are more likely to cut the cord during the next year than those who watch 2.5 hours, according to Parks Associates.
The report, “Examining Broadband Cord Cutters,” suggests that fixed broadband providers without mobile services may suffer more from cord-cutting. This possibility, Parks says, has led Comcast and Charter to introduce mobile services.
“Roughly 10% of broadband subscribers are likely broadband cord-cutters, with half of them highly likely to make the change in the next 12 months,” Brett Sappington, Senior Research Director and Principal Analyst, Parks Associates, said in a press release. “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.”
