Netflix has original content on streaming plus a very large selection of DVD/BluRay by mail.
Prime has original content plus rental options plus premium channels like HBO and Showtime that are cheaper than cable companies
Hulu has network shows and a live streaming option for people who want to cut the cord for live TV

I also use Starry 5G internet for the past 2 years so I have literally cut the cord. Everything is wireless for me.
