User: Is streaming better than cable?
Assistant: Streaming, which is a short-hand term for on-demand programming streamed over the internet, is available from many service providers including Netflix, Disney, Hulu, and Amazon. It is often considered better than cable because there is more original content and the content can be downloaded or consumed at any time, which is more flexible as compared to the standard cable packages offered. While streaming is considered more flexible, it can be expensive since most people consume streaming services from many providers, increasing the aggregate cost of subscriptions.
