What TV streaming services do you use, if any?

I do have cable internet though, which has been good, but that's getting expensive too.

It's getting more expensive for me, too. I have to wonder about the long range survival of cable, even if only as ISP providers. As I commented above, cellular service is good enough for many.

I don't think cell service is able to support the speed and reliability of fiber or cable internet. At least not yet. It seems like almost every cell phone call I get breaks up, or drops, or has some kind of distortion. I can't see cell service supporting multiple home connections through a router, as well streaming, for instance, a 3 hour 4K Netflix film with clean, stable quality. I don't really trust the security of cell service, either. I never do any financial transactions on the phone.

I hate Comcast, the only company in town that serves my address. Every year I have to do the dance to get my home internet rate down. Why waste my time and your employees? I don't get it.
 
To your point.

Bell Canada lost so many rural internet subscribers over a decade ago because they switched everyone to satellite based internet and then cranked the fees up by 100% and strangled usage.

A few years ago, they came door to door to try to get customers for their new cell tower based service and the poor guy doing it said he had taken a beating from everyone by the time he got to us...and of course in the meantime, our municipality had partnered with an internet provider to provide service so there were no takers.

My last long conversation with Bell was when we cancelled all of our land line services and went with Telus. Suddenly they could save us tons of money....we now pay less than a third for cellular phone services.
 
Because I didn't see it mentioned, if anyone uses a Roku stick, you should have the Roku channel for free. I just discovered it on my stick and have been watching a lot of cooking shows.

I currently have Peacock and Paramount Plus with ads but only because they offered "Black Friday" promotions which had them both at around $1 a month for a year.

@jjonn3 -
I wasn't able to find that good of a deal this past Black Friday for Peacock or Paramount. I wonder if they have regional deals (unless you don't live in USA). I think the best I saw on one of those was $3.99 a month for 3 months.

I would have to check but the reason I took both is one was $11.99 and the other was $12.99 for a year - just have to make sure I do not "auto renew"

I don't watch a lot of channels. I don't want to pay for hundreds of channels I won't watch. I don't watch sports, and I'm close enough to the towers I get perfect local channel antenna reception unless it is really windy, or we are having a big thunderstorm, so I don't want to pay for full cable service. I had Sling for five years, but they pissed me off about something, so last week I switched to a smaller Directv streaming package, and it saves $10 a month as well. The only other streaming service I pay for separately is Netflix.

If you have any, I was wondering what streaming packages you use and how you like them?

We have them all. Prime, Max, Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Shudder (I like horror), BBC (husband likes Brit programming). But out of all of the them? I keep going back to free TUBI because it's a car wreck of movies you have to see to believe.

Since I'm retired, I watch the TV 10 hours a day on average. I do pay for cable and I do hate that it goes up $7 to $10 a month every January. But I continue to pay because I LOVE the convenience of the cable box that records my programs. I can set it to record some series and it will watch for the program all year long and record new episodes. Even if the series is cancelled, but it starts back up 2 or 4 years later, my cable box will record it for me. I record mostly sitcoms, cable news (about 2 hours a day), and some reality type series.

As far as the main topic of this thread...I pay for streaming apps: Prime, Disney+ with Hulu, Peacock, and Paramount. But I only subscribe when there is a good deal ($1 to $3 a month) which is usually around Black Friday. I wasn't able to find a good monthy deal on Peacock and Paramount, but if you sign up with Walmart Plus (like Amazon Prime) it includes free delivery to home including groceries as well as Peacock and Paramount+. I'm not planning on getting walmart grocery delivery for myself, but for a family member who no longer drives. I figure if the local deliver works out well, then the family member can pay for the Walmart Plus plan and I will use the streaming service.
 
Have Peacock for the Olympics. End of February done. Have Apple TV as part of Apple One. Listen to music mostly. Have tried all of the other major streaming channels. They cancel all of the shows I become interested in so I cancel them. Purchase movies and TV shows that interest me.
 
Not sure if this counts, but someone I follow on Threads mention the Kanopy app. It has a bunch of free movies. You sign in using your library card.

Small note--I don't think all libraries contract with Kanopy. That said, if available, it's worth considering. The price is certainly right!
