Back when I had cable it cost more than $80/month, and I didn't get a discount for bundling internet+TV. My internet cost now with streaming is the same as it was with cable, and all of my streaming services combined are less than half what I was paying for cable.
Plus, I can turn them on/off whenever I want (like I just did once basketball finished up).
Might not be for everyone, but for many of us, the benefits far outweigh the cons.
I always have Prime, I check Crackle and Roku Channel once a month because they're the best free legal streaming I've come by. Then I pay for one streaming service a month that I rotate:
-HBO probably 2-3 months a year
-Netflix probably 2-3 months a year
-Cyclones.tv every Sept-Februrary
-I'm going to try CBS soon because I'm a lifelong Star Trek and Twilight Zone fan
-Haven't tried Hulu yet but I will sometime soon
-Used to do Sling 2-3 months a year for sports but it sucked in terms of it didn't work
-Now do YoutubeTV 2-3 months a year for sports even though it costs more but it works as well as full Cable TV with DVR
It's a TON of content for what comes out to around $25/mo and I can't count the Prime subscription towards it because I get that anyway. If I never did youtube TV it'd only be about $14/mo
