    I only have internet and I pay 118 a month. Big company came by the other day offering double the speeds, 2 streaming services of my choosing, and cable for 108 a month.

    So this is why I’ve come back to “cable” after not having it for over a decade. I can’t say I’ll use it, because ads drive me up the fucking wall, but to have double the internet speed, sports, and two streaming services included? I’ll do it.
