Can you please elaborate on what you mean? The reduced cost for an internet and cable bundle with Charter/Spectrum is only for the first year before the prices goes up. My sister and brother-in-law are sharing their Netflix account with me while I will be paying the $7 monthly cost for Disney+ and will be sharing the account with them. If folks have multiple streaming services I can definitely see the cost adding up to be on par or more than cable. But for me who will only be paying for Disney+, it is overall cheaper.

Right. Because you have only 2. But with every channel getting their own streaming services, it would get expensive if you wanted all of them. Or certain ones for certain shows. I could get cable for certain price, or I can get a subscription to 25-30 different streaming sites to watch the shows I like.

And you can always get cable prices back down. Every time I go there in person after a while, I get some of the price taken off. Works better when they have competition. And bundling with other stuff reduces you prices. Like internet, which I have. And when I added a landline, my bill actually went down in price... after she had already reduced it.

Since you have only Disney and NetFlix, your price is low. But if someone watched a bunch of different channels that all got streaming sites, they would be paying an astronomical amount. I mean, the video posted earlier was little over the top, but thats basically how it might be soon.

That being said, streaming does have their pros. Watching whatever you want to watch, when you want to watch it, and wherever. Where with cable, you either watch whats on or on whatever on demand type thing they have. But for some people, it makes more sense to get cable than it does to get 30 streaming sites and pay twice as much. Especially since you technically get less channels, even though it slightly more content. Though, you might not care about most of it. So, its person to person.
