cable companies are the new brick and mortar video stores. they will adapt or go extinct in the next 10 years, much like Blockbuster.
Lets see, I used to go to Blockbuster and rent a "just released" video for a lot less than I have to pay to stream one now
You sure showed Blockbuster!!
By paying more to do the exact same thing
And where does this $150 a month cable bill come from? If you have to distort your statistics, then its an admission that you're losing the argument
BTW: my combined internet/cable bill is $99

Toss in the cost of gas and the time spent to browse some shitty store, I doubt it. How many days did you cry when they closed down your beloved blockbuster, old man?

This might blow your mind: the cost of internet/cable differs depending on where you live.

congrats, mine is $65 and i have more content than you and it's not even a debate. want to keep going? this should be fun pawpaw.
you:
- change your depends & put on clothes
- get in car, drive a few miles. (gas expense)
- walk through video store for 10-15 minutes (guessing what's worth watching)
- wait in line next to the kid crying because he isn't getting his Goobers
- pay $2-3 (minimum)
- get in car, drive a few miles (gas expense)
- pop DVD (or in your case VHS) into player
- at some point, drive back to video store to return movie (gas expense) or pay $5 a day late fee.
me:
- use remote to change source to Netflix
- pick out title based on reviews
- press play.
all the while I have higher bandwidth internet for everything else in this digital world and don't have to leave my home.
shall we continue?
