*A* streaming service, yes. But then what happens when not everything you
want to watch is on that one service? If you are like a lot of people I
know, you get another service... and then another... and then soon it is no
longer cheaper than cable.
When I say "cable" I am not counting the internet or phone in the cost
because (1) I have to have the internet (probably from cable) to get the
streaming service which also makes it a part of the streaming service cost,
and (2) streaming services won't replace the phone.
That is something else about the streamers I know who claim it is
cheaper... they are not factoring in the delivery costs, i.e. the internet
which, for cable TV watchers, is usually bundled in. Since they are paying
for that separately, they don't count it either.
