Well,I don't blame them. I get monthly cable tv offers from Spectrum and the price has dropped from $55.99 to $45.99 a month..Still absurdly expensive,especially when you add in internet/phone. I have ota tv and 99% of it is garbage. Cable tv is just more of the same,adding to that,almost half of the so called "hour" long shows are mindless commercials,so why bother? The cable companies still seen to think everyone has a money tree growing out back...I remember when cable tv was $12.00 a month and Internet was $20.00 a month.
Agreed. We cut the cord quite a while back. Not only is cable far pricier than Netflix, the other issue is, as you mentioned, the ads. Plus, with cable you're at the mercy of what's currently running. If it's halfway through your favorite show, too bad, you lost the first half. I don't want to pay $$ for that type of service model! I like that Netflix has tons of stuff, you can browse by genre, and it recommends stuff that's in line with what you want. And of course, no ads, and you can start watching at any time. Too busy to watch a show in one sitting? No problem - it saves your place for you! Cable can't do any of that.
