spanky1 04/17/18 4:23:07 PM #55:	darkjedilink posted... spanky1 posted... It's insane how big a price different cable and a streaming service is. I was paying just about 200 dollars a month for internet and cable. Internet alone was 60, so cable is basically 140 dollars for one month. Netflix is like what, 12 bucks or something? 140 dollars. 12 dollars. That's almost 12 times as expensive. Is this really such a mystery? It's cost. If they came out with a 10 dollar cable plan, then I'd buy it. But it's not 10 dollars. It's 140 dollars. The price difference is so astronomical that it's mind blowing, really. Netflix doesn't have new episodes of non-Netflix shows. Hardware problems are up to you to fix. Comparing Netflix alone to cable is very disingenuous. And cable doesn't have Netflix shows, so what's your point? They're both giant clumps of tons of show and movie content, they should be comparable. You could totally just have one of them and be happy. And hardware problems? It's just an internet connection and a TV. :\ --- http://i.imgur.com/DCjoiZ0.jpg <cite>spanky1 posted [p:899827182] in Cable comp...

CrimsonRage posted... i love how companies complain about millennials instead of, I dunno, adapting to their taste? Not that I like defending cable companies, but the other side can be entitled brats in their own right. Bawking about scheduled shows, ads, and any cost higher than $12 a month (notice how people aren't factoring in the cost of the internet plan into things) makes it sound like the millennial business model is everything I want for free. Hard to make a living doing that. Neither of those are unreasonable. Sorry, but I'm an old fart that remembers 3 channels on a black and white set being TV for all but the rich, so this idea that having to see a show at a certain time (or use some kind of recorder) is some kind of horror is seriously foreign to me. --- http://backloggery.com/reddthesock <cite>lightwarrior78 posted [p:899827712] in Cable comp...

EvalAngell 04/17/18 4:46:35 PM #60:	Those saying it's cheaper to stream...it's sometimes not. The savings are so minimal that the inconvenience is not worth dumping cable over. I'll use myself as example since I pay a pretty high monthly cable bill ($210). This is for Comcast/XFinity and includes their fastest internet...pretty much every channel including NFL Redzone...and a landline (not that I use it). So doing the math, let's say I sign up for Hulu, Netflix and Sling which would give me a comparable channel listing compared to my current cable package. Hulu = $10 Netflix = $10 Sling = $60 Then you need the internet itself which is $100 if you get the same internet by itself from Comcast. Then the monthly modem fee which is $10. Sure you can buy your own modem but most people don't do that. I'm already up to $190 not including the taxes. I'm not sure if it's really worth it to dump cable to save $20 a month...but I'll let you guys decide. --- It's what's best for business. <cite>EvalAngell posted [p:899828579] in Cable comp...

I'll use myself as example since I pay a pretty high monthly cable bill ($210). This is for Comcast/XFinity and includes their fastest internet...pretty much every channel including NFL Redzone...and a landline (not that I use it). So doing the math, let's say I sign up for Hulu, Netflix and Sling which would give me a comparable channel listing compared to my current cable package. Hulu = $10 Netflix = $10 Sling = $60 Then you need the internet itself which is $100 if you get the same internet by itself from Comcast. Then the monthly modem fee which is $10. Sure you can buy your own modem but most people don't do that. I'm already up to $190 not including the taxes. I'm not sure if it's really worth it to dump cable to save $20 a month...but I'll let you guys decide.
