Internet TV Subscribers Growing But Average Household Spends Just $7.95 A Month

Parks breaks the numbers down like this: 63 percent of U.S. broadband households subscribe to an “over-the-top” video service like Netflix.

Of those, nearly half subscribe to two or more services. Parks puts the number at 31 percent of broadband households paying for multiple services. The two most popular services are Netflix and Amazon Video, and 12 percent of broadband users subscribe to both, according to Parks.
