would likely be well over $100

In the US, sure. But other countries had much cheaper "cable" and now have the same prices for streaming services

I'm British, the last time I had Sky which is basically our version of cable, it cost me just over £20/month. And now its £30/month

True, I just assumed it was about the US because it was priced in dollars. Is your cable and internet tied together like it is/was in most of the US?
