If you have more than two streaming services it now cost more than cable.
We’ve come full circle, guys!

At least for now we don’t have to watch ads…

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

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.

We’re getting there. At one time TV was $40/month

And now my basic Internet connection from the only provider in the area (who is also the TV provider) is $100/mo

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.
