I haven't had a COLA in my pension for 2 years.
You can not watch YouTube TV on your phone.
Why would they give you any more money than they have to if COLA is not in the contract?

Amazing how this can jump from why is a cable bill high to discussing Tariffs
True. Eventually when materials needed to maintain equipment is needed then the potential for another increase in price for an internet supplier would be reasonable.
So back to what impacts cable vs. streaming
Meanwhile like any business competition impacts cost. Cheaper streaming obviously takes customer base away from cable companies. In order to stay in business price increases to loyal customers still using cable helps to answer the question Deb was looking for. Other factors like buying content to bundle, wage increase, fleet maintenance for cable installers & line maintenance play a role. When is the last time anyone saw a Netflix driver pull up in a van loaded with the equipment needed to install or repair Netflix?
I can only speak for myself. The projected gloom & doom & fear of tariffs hasn't hit me.

Yes. And it's worth remembering, that it's not simply finished products we're talking about. It's components to items. For instance, 35% of a Tesla is imported components. In fact, no car is 100% US made. From iPhones to TV's, none are all US made, meaning tariffs affect just about everything. That additional cost is ours, as consumers, to bear.

I didn't have a pension, but my wife did and the monthly benefit was set for life. She received no cost of living adjustments as the years passed.

I haven't owned a TV for many years. Just use the internet for streaming. A little YouTube and Pluto TV sometimes, no subscriptions.

Tariffs will cost the loss of 10's of thousands of jobs a month.
Get prepped and ready for a really sorry ass.

There is no other way this will play out. It simply can't play out any other way.

I pay ÂŁ33 for the internet , tv & landline per month... I cut my previous 1000 channels which we had as a couple.. when the divorce came though I reduced those channels to I think it's about 120 now..excluding sports and movies which I don't watch, so that brought it down to ÂŁ33 per month for the TV... landline and Internet package with superfast Broadband copper fibre ... .... and seperate is ÂŁ5 per month contract for my Iphone with free unlimited texts
..so for a total of ÂŁ38 per month = $50 US...I get TV, Internet, landline , and Mobile phone...

Yes. In some areas where there is a monopoly, the phone/internet privider can charge any price they want, and they can force you to bundle internet, cable and phone.

For some of us, it isn't only the increase for insurance and internet but our local cities are adding fees for everything because they know the voters won't approve higher taxes.

We pay about $207 per month for bundled services - tv, phone, internet. It was supposed to be $255 until we talked them down and agreed once again to a 2 year contract with Telus here in BC Canada.
It is legal in every state for the patient to refuse treatment.
It is also legal in every state for the doctor to follow patient's instruction(or healhcare power of attorney) and withdraw any life sustaining treatment.

Force you ?... how can they force you ?
I mean, you have to buy the whole bundle they sell you, or you don't get anything. You pay $100 for the internet, or you pay $100 for the internet+TV, or you pay $100 for the internet+TV+phone. That is involuntary bundling.

I've had a flip phone for years. Got a new Iris Flip Phone from Consumer Cellular. I'm the only one left in my family that has a flip phone. I spend so much time on my computer, I ask my self why should I pay a lot of money for a phone that has access to the internet?I am the guy with the flip phone
Why not?

It’s impossible in the states to get anywhere near that price for all those services.
