You don’t benefit being on a company’s leash.

No.

Do we have more than 3 because we can't agree on which ones to ditch now that they all tripled in price over the last few years?

Yes.

Same, same.

I have several and still pay less than cable tv

Amen.
When my wife and I cut the cord, over a decade ago, we were paying just north of $200/month to get the channels we wanted. Even with price increases and keeping more services than we really should, we aren't event close to cracking that number. Also, we aren't locked into a contract forcing us to pay an "early termination" fee when we switch out services.
Ya, the situation has deteriorated, but fuck cable.

Excellent!

My own experience is going from triple play with 200Mb internet, to gigabit internet plus three streaming services while cutting my cost in half! So much more useful for both work and entertainment to have that internet

As someone with 0 streaming services: lol, lmao even

C) It depends.

My family all have differing tastes in entertainment. My kids wouldn't want to (and we wouldn't let them) watch the same things my wife and I watch. With the varied tastes in the house, we keep multiple services around. For folks who don't have kids and have more similar tastes between people in the house, having 1 or 2 services at a time, would make more sense.
