    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.

        Yea you could really pay a lot depending on how many channels you subscribed to and especially if you had premium channels like HBO or Starz.

        I’m sure we’ll get there though.

      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
