    Yes, it’s much cheaper. Maybe not if you tried to replicate the package but why would you? Most people don’t watch everything. More importantly, streaming frees you from their schedule and opens the possibility of binge watching entire seasons.

    • FROM triple play including 300Mb internet, most channels but no premiums
    • TO gigabit Ethernet, 2-3 streaming services at a time
    • SAVED half every month
