A recent Parks Associates report found that nearly half of U.S. households subscribe to five or more streaming video services, and 23% subscribe to eight or more.
The bottom line? Cutting the cord can still save you money, but it’s no longer the slam dunk it used to be.

Growth in streaming has slowed, and churn is up – a sign that this model isn’t as easy or affordable as it once promised.
