I upvoted for generally a good point but the comparable size bundle of goods does not really make sense here - no one will do that.

For me the most comparable bundles were:

  1. Cable TV with HD, 100mbps internet

  2. 1gbps internet, with 2 streaming services

While from the cable perspective those do not represent the same thing, they are what I was willing to exchange for, and the second option is still significantly cheaper. I tether probably needs to be included because I needed more bandwidth to support streaming (although not that much more). I would not have considered option 2 with a bundle with the same “channels”: they are not equivalent value to me as a viewer
