Okay random question: when you were a kid, did you have any idea how many channels, let alone streaming services, we'd have now?! I still remember watching The X-Files on my parents big wood-encased TV and having to change the channel via cranking the dial.

When you have cable tv, you play a LOT of extras when it comes to taxes, surcharges, fees, etc. When you are only paying for internet, you only get charged state taxes which help lower your price.
Our internet is $165 a month (Comcast), but that comes with unlimited bandwidth because we are always over the limit and didn't want to get charged $10 per mb over. It also includes a landline. If I were to remove the landline, our bill goes up to $175 a month. Internet is expensive where I live - I wish it were a lot cheaper. However if I were to get cable tv with our internet/phone, it would be almost $250 for the first year and then after that who knows what Comcast would gouge us with!
