True, but the price seems a bit lower (for now). A fully loaded cable account back in the day for me was $180 (including internet).

Now days you can get internet for $50 or $100 (depending on location, speed etc).

Then if you wanted say 5 of the various platforms, that's going to roughly be $50 to $70 more. So that's still a likely savings.

And on top of that, all new movies are basically being PRODUCED by these networks, so for the most part you don't need a theater (or their prices).

And on top of all that, instead of just fully subscribing to all of them, just get one at a time. Want the new Dexter series, get Showtime. Done with that? drop it until season 2 is out.

So it definitely can be a lot cheaper than the old days.

I haven't had a cable subscription in years. I think almost 5 or 6 years now. It's been a combination of streaming, movie rentals (streaming), and BitTorrent downloads.

And yes, it definitely can be cheaper if you willing to actively manage what subscriptions you need and don't need one month at a time.

Also, most importantly, there are no more advertisements.
