    If you have more than two streaming services it now cost more than cable.

    We’ve come full circle, guys!

      I’m not sure which streaming services you mean but cable back when I had it YEARS ago was over $120 a month. That was just the tv part, not including internet.

      I can’t think of 3 streaming services that come near that price.

      Only if you’re counting YouTubeTV as one of those and even still, I remember my dad arguing with dish or direct about the $150 bill all the time over a decade ago. We switched cable providers every other year to keep the price in the low $100 range and as soon as the honeymoon period was over they would double it.

      Even YouTubeTV+Netflix+Disney+w/e is less than cable for now

      The cost of cable where I can choose what I want to watch when I want to watch it. Whereas before I had to hope that the programming directors for the different channels picked something somewhere worth watching when I turned on the tube.
