I suspect this trend to continue. You can try to stay ahead but they will find a way to get your money.

Five years from now when the numbers increase we will start seeing two or three services buying up all the rest....

happen with cable and it will happen with streaming. Once upon a time cable was fairly cheap. But once the numbers gets to a point and the choices start being bought up...

the streaming cost goes up and it will one day be as costly as cable is today. Only difference, you will have less channels and paying about the same.

These people are not cutting the cord. They are switching which cord they are using and that's it. The same thing happened with cable vs over the air. The same thing happened with internet service. And the same model will be used and in place with in five years for streaming...

fewer choices and price increases and taxes/fees taxes/fees taxes/fees will be added on. The government is going to get their share...city, state, federal. Just a matter of time.

What I don't understand is sports junkies wanting to watch a basketball game streamed vs cable. Those that say you can't tell the difference...are fooling their self. Why buy the best TV you can get with the best picture then watch something that looks like 10 years ago as far as motion goes.

Lol

So you cut the cord? Nope...you switched. I bet you are one of those that says..I can't tell the difference in picture quality? If not you are using a TV that's 5+ years old. But even then you are not being truthful.

At least not when it comes to sports. Since we are on a sports message board I assume that's important to us.

You don't think the price is going up? Again you are fooling yourself. Cable wasn't always this expensive. Just wait till the government starts getting their 15 to 20%. Neither was internet cost. Neither was phone service.

COST always goes up when the numbers get to a certain point

So if you want to address those points we can talk.
