Like I noted way back, before we all cut the cord, yes most of us were paying $150 -$225 or more a month from our local cable company which included the internet and their cable tv line up and any other "premium add on we wanted. The prices got out of control with rate increases and along came the cable cutters, and a move to these cheaper streaming services. And all we needed was some internet service. Well, guess what, those increases are now creeping back up but this time its all the streaming services and their add-ons and yep we are still paying the cable company for internet service. Add everything up, ( like for ex: Hululive, w/Disney+, Netflix Standard, 500 mb Internet with local phone, come inhandy during Cell outages and hurriances as its buried, mine $209.48 a month) and be honest, I'll bet your TV/movie/internet bill is slowly approaching that original bill you used to receive from your local cable company. Before I cut the cable I was paying 182.50. Of course now I get more channels via Roku and Netflix and movie options. We dropped HBO MAX. I had Amazon Prime since it came out, since we do not stream music. But No regulations, means these companies can do and charge whatever they want. So today,, I'm paying more for streaming services than I was way back when, of course my interent speed is a lot higher and fits our need. And what gets me is the local cable company is sending our these " COME BACK TO US AND SAVE". I would get the very same channels I get today on Hululive . Amazon the devil, will all I can say, is what a racket and all internet companies and streaming services are just plain greedy..
