Cable should be vastly cheaper than streaming since it is double dipping on payment models. Paying for access and then also paying through watching ads means cable should be half or less what the current rate is.

Streaming platforms double-dip too. They collect and sell your useage metrics while also either charging you for access or showing you ads.
