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.

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.
