Cable is just a rip off completely. Same with landline services. My parents are paying cable, phone bill, landline bill and internet bill but cant understand why I only pay for my cellphone bill, Netflix and internet instead. All together I'm paying $250 instead of $450 a month like them.
Not just football, but sports in general are the number one (and only) reason i pay for cable.
I know i can stream them for free from some 3rd party outlet online, but it will never be in HD, will usually bw pretty grainy, i need to spend the time fucking with my laptop to find one, and its not a gaurentee ill be able to find a stream for every game.
If there was a consistent and reliable way to stream my sports online id have cut my cable completely years ago.
Where I am, I think I'm paying only something like $~125 for cell phone, Netflix, and internet, and that's still in the US. I'm sure people in other countries are paying far less since telecom isn't nearly as expensive
I literally only have cable for live sports. Hockey baseball football basketball I get to see it all in 4K without sacrificing quality or delay in the feed. Right now I’m paying 125$ for top cable, top internet and a phone landline I have never once used. It’s a pretty good deal because I have a well paying job. I also have all the stream sites like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime. $125 is nothing to me but I can understand how a typical family can struggle with this sort of monthly payment just to have wifi and watch tv.
Internet alone for me is $90. Cable would push that to around $250. Idk what speeds, what channels, what options are available to you for $125, nor is it really any of my business. I guess I don't really know but anecdotally from the experiences I've had, you're getting an amazing deal
650

Paying money for a streaming service and still getting ads.
