Netflix has quietly killed the CAD$9.99 per month basic plan in Canada for new subscribers, according to its support page.

Cable costs more than that and still gives you tons of ads. I’m fine with the price.

Very few people consider cable a great demonstration of value.

Most people I talk to only really have cable because it is the best way to get a variety of sports. Most leagues now have a streaming option but they are still quite expensive so probably not worth it if you are interested in 3 or more different sports.

It’s sports and live news. You can pirate that stuff but it’s annoying. Steam quality varies from place to place and unless you have an IPTV box that has those channels the only real place to get them are from a cable provider.

I’ve found that you can get very good news on YouTube these days. But maybe for smaller cities it is hard.

We’d be off cable entirely if not for sports and CTV Sci-fi channel that still carries a few shows we can’t get elsewhere.
