I just downgraded from ultra streaming to whatever the next lowest is. I doubt I will notice a difference in viewing quality..
Apple is worse. Nothing inspiring since Ted Lasso. That dog has been dropped.
I may end up canceling Netflix and just go on it once every three or four months for a month.
Most of my time has been spent on Prime.

(40,102 posts)I think we were paying $29 a month for cable then and their price was going up to $35 or $40. I don't remember what year that was. I do remember it was before Comcast became an internet provider.
My wife and I currently budget up to $35 a month for television, which is usually two or three commercial-free streaming services. We don't watch any advertising supported television, not since we quit cable/satellite/broadcast television many years ago.
These days I find television advertising intolerable. I would never go back to "traditional" television.
If I can no longer make television commercials go away for less than $35 a month then our television will go back to being a DVD/BluRay player exclusively, just as it was when one of our kids first set us up with Netflix.
I got the email that Netflix is raising their price from ten dollars a month to twelve. I'll take that into consideration the next time we revise our lineup of streaming services.
My wife and I don't consider television to be any kind of necessity. This may have something to do with the environments we were raised in. When I was a kid there were times, often lasting many months, and once an entire year, when we didn't have a working television at all. My parents simply didn't think television was all that important back when televisions and television repairs were expensive. Neither did me or my siblings.

My wife loves "The Crown" and "Heartland." (I really recommend the latter if you haven't seen it.)
