Comcast’s StreamSaver bundle ups price to $18 a month

Parks Associates published its “State of Streaming” report, which revealed service bundling to be the fastest growing enticement for consumers to switch telecom services.

Also interesting: Based on Parks’ survey of more than 8,000 adult U.S. consumers, streaming services have replaced pay TV packages as the top bundled enticement for telecom operators.

“Pay TV is no longer the top service bundled with home internet — streaming video add-ons have taken the top spot. Forty percent of broadband households now bundle a streaming video subscription with their home internet service, making it the clear anchor of the new home services bundle,” Parks said in its report.
