I'm a cable cutter (I refuse to call myself a cord cutter), but I agree. I would have Netflix regardless of whether I had cable or not but I wouldn't have DirecTVNow or Hulu ($47/month) even with the bogus fees and when you consider the bundled discounts, cable is not a bad deal for most people. My dad came up and he fell in love with my Roku TV so I got him one for Father's Day. I had to go down and set it up for him because between the individual TVAnywhere logins, the flaky WiFi (they have both slow DSL and cable internet service long story), it was really confusing for him.

On top of that, they understand when cable goes out it just happens. But if thier internet went out and they couldn't watch TV, they would be really frustrated. Besides they live in a small town with a 150GB cap on thier DSL and a 300GB cap on thier cable internet. My family blew right through that when we stayed with them for the summer.
