Well I'm European (the UK is in Europe, even if, for now, not in the EU), but may not help much: I pay precisely nothing. We have a selection of free to view broadcast TV in the UK, including streaming by the major channels. I don't watch enough TV for it to be worth paying for any streaming service, never mind the all of the different services that exist now (in a reversal of the stereotype my daughter has told me her Netflix password, but I probably only use it every few weeks).
Cable penetration was never anything as large here as in the US, and free to view broadcast TV has always been dominant. A quick bit of web research reveals that in 2021 38% of UK households used free broadcast TV only, 30% Sky (pay TV service, originally satellite delivered but mainly internet delivered these days, and they have ceased satellite installations), 14% cable (all of the cable services of the early 90s have consolidated into a single provider), 9% streaming only and the remainder spread between ISP-provided pay services. The trends are towards internet delivery/streaming and away from other services, but everyone expects free to air broadcast to remain the largest for some time (the big channels also deliver their content via free streaming services, though the commercial ones also offer paid versions without ads).
I pay £48/month for phone and internet (we still have friends, some elderly, who use landline phones, so keep and pay for a landline phone service - though as the internet connection is fibre to the premises the phone service is actually delivered over that rather than copper wires). That is about $58/month at current exchange rates, inclusive of taxes (European prices always include taxes, I don't know whether other prices in this thread do). You could get a connection that would suffice for streaming and working from home for a fair bit less than that but as my wife and I both work partially from home I chose not to skimp on bandwidth (also prices for such services change: if my contract were up for renewal today I could get the same for less).
I think the prices for the big streaming services (Netflix, Disney+ etc) are similar on this side of the Pond. I've just looked up the prices of the biggest pay TV service here, and as a stand-alone service (not bundled with internet connection, which they also do) it starts at £26/month ($31) including basic Netflix subscription, with additional services like premium movie channels (£11/month) or sports channel bundles (£20-30/month) as add-ons. So someone taking the base service + movie channel + more expensive sports service would pay a little under $80/month. However as that service is owned by Murdoch hell will freeze over before I pay them a single penny
. I could probably get a cheaper pay TV service from as a bundle from my own ISP, but include the above as an example of typical pricing for someone who isn't getting a bundle with their internet connection.
