When I moved out my first decision was to not get cable anymore. Streaming wasn't even a factor in that decision as Netflix was only just starting here. I just didn't care about all the drivel broken up by increasingly long commercial blocks. Lack of quality killed TV for me, not streaming.
Some of the premium paid TV channels like HBO always had great content.
Unfortunately in my country HBO was only available as an add-on, so you'd need an expensive cable subscription you didn't want and then pay extra for the concent you'd actually wanted to see. Pretty bad deal.
