Today’s viewers have more entertainment options than ever, but cable television still offers many benefits. If you’re evaluating your TV options or thinking about cutting the cord, here are some top reasons to keep cable in your lineup. 

Why You Should Keep a Cable Television Subscription

1. Enjoy Live TV

Streaming services offer tons of on-demand content, but they usually don’t carry live events like sports, award shows, and breaking news coverage. Cable networks carry all these options, so you can keep up with the content that everyone is talking about. Even streaming services that carry some live TV options don’t usually have access to regional sports coverage and popular events like Monday Night Football.

2. Watch Without an Internet Connection

Cable television uses a different connection than home internet, so if there’s storm damage to your internet line or issues with your wireless router, you can still watch TV while waiting for repairs. Additionally, many homes struggle with everyone wanting to use the internet at once. If you’re on a video conference while the kids are gaming and your spouse is streaming their favorite show, all those connections may be slower than usual. Watching cable instead of streaming lessens the strain on your internet system, so you can keep speeds high where they really count. 

3. Save Money

Lots of homes think they can save money by eliminating cable television, but streaming service subscriptions really add up, and they regularly increase prices to increase their content libraries. Cable providers already offer a huge array of content with several different packages to suit your budget. Additionally, you can usually combine cable, internet, and phone to save money on these services.
