you were paying for internet before cable existed?  Streaming took off when fiber really started to get installed.. 90% of the US couldnt really  stream if they wanted, even 5 yrs ago. in many areas only the last 2-3 yrs was it viable,,  Streaming providers saw they could eliminate a huge chunk of support infrastructure and cut cable off.   But now they are finding that was a small chunk of the cost and they are having to raise rates.

And thats why I said streaming took the hit.. they all tried to serve below costs to remove cable..  With cable most of us has 1 choice or Sat 2 choices..   Now with streaming you have 4-5-6 but they all play the cost game by only serving up some channels .  they are starting to actually raise rates to make money and now people jump around because they can..  Then the streamers all started their own pipelines and now people stream 3-4-5-6 different services and pay more than cable rates.

who has Disney/apple/Hulu/Paramount/Espn/HBO etc..
