That sounds kind of weird, right?
Apparently the cable company has been losing customers to cord cutting at a quick rate, so they are offering new customers YouTube tv instead of traditional cable.
The whole point of going to YouTube tv (or any other streaming service) is that you “cut the cord” … yes you still need a cable in order to have wifi in your house, from which you can stream, but the point is that you buy wifi and that’s it, then you pay a subscription to YouTube.
So why would anyone pay the cable company for the service? Surely they have to make money on it, so the cost would be higher than going directly to YouTube.
I can’t imagine they could “bundle it” with anything that would be cost effective, or cheaper than doing it yourself.
It kind of makes no sense. But they think it will make them more money.
The only thing I can think of is that they’ll charge more for internet only, and less for wifi + YouTube + phone.
Maybe internet only would cost $100 for a low bandwidth option, and the combo would cost $90 (and I know that number is much too low). I guess that might be a way?
Seems strange to me…
