In addition to that, the cable giant has announced that starting this month, it would bundle Netflix into some of their bundled TV packages given to both existing and potential customers. Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is yet to reveal which TV package would have the streaming service subscription, but has said that accessibility to Netflix would differ as per the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you subscribe to Comcast Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> TV bundle and have a Netflix subscription, the monthly payment for the streaming service would show up on the cable invoice. So, going forward, you would only have to keep track of one invoice less each month.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1653\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1653\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1653\" class=\"wp-image-1653 size-medium\" title=\"Best Packages\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Charter-Spectrum-Bundle-Packages-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Cable TV Alternatives\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Charter-Spectrum-Bundle-Packages-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Charter-Spectrum-Bundle-Packages-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Charter-Spectrum-Bundle-Packages-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Pay-TV Subscription <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, to add Netflix to their TV bundles means to retain nationwide subscribers within the realm of the pay-TV subscription universe by keeping them from cord cutting. The cable provider has said that it has ended last year with 21.3m residential \u201cvideo\u201d customers, which was declined by 186,000 customers from 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Netflix reported recently that it has around 55m customers in the US, but slow customer growth has oftentimes raised concerns regarding expansions of the streaming service\u2019s customer base. \u201cThis is a big win for Netflix, which could use the Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> platform to boost its subscriber growth in the US market,\u201d said the Senior Analyst at Investing.com, Haris Anwar. \u201cThis is an especially timely move as domestic subscriptions have shown some signs of peaking, making some investors nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, even if some customers look for cable TV alternatives to stream their favorite shows, it is an irrefutable fact that millions of Netflix customers also have a Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> subscription.
