Are you one of the thousands still paying a hefty cable bill each month? It’s possible your bill amount has silently crept up over time.
The average cable bill for those of us in the U.S. is a lot higher than you might expect, and unfortunately, it’s only getting worse.
Decision Data recently put out a report. It revealed some eye-opening statistics about cable bills:
- The average household cable package in the U.S. costs more than $217 each month.
- The average U.S. household spends around $205 monthly on the major utilities combined. This includes essentials like water, gas, electricity, and garbage.
- The standard cable package in the U.S. keeps getting pricier every single year.
These figures show that the average cable bill is actually higher than the cost of most other household utilities – all of them added together.
Let’s put that into an annual perspective. That means the average cable customer in the U.S. is shelling out over $2,600 per year just for cable!
We’ve talked about this cable bill issue in the past, so these statistics don’t really come as a surprise. We’ve seen this trend coming.
