Can they really count internet costs which most people would need even if they weren't streaming?

Great point. I guess there's maybe someone that doesn't need internet in there home. But the average person these days can't function without it.

I was doing it to try to make their claim seem sane. Are people really on 4-5 streaming services?

There definitely are. My partner has Netflix, Prime, Peacock, and the Disney plus bundle. I feel like it isn't that uncommon of a scenario tbh.
