Bundling TV and internet is one way Xfinity combats these streaming services. I remember when YTTV was $35 and had regional sports, now it's like $70 without regional sports. T-Mobile launched home internet recently and they already raised it $10. It's all a business game.

With the younger generation live TV is dying, these people are all hooked on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, HBOMax, etc. Nobody wants to watch excessive amounts of commercials anymore.

I'm paying the same amount of money with a bundled Xfinity plan as I would buying a Streaming service and stand alone internet.
