Prime is faster, there's also their free postage offering.

Yes, but if you don't order often the membership fee is fairly hefty.

The membership fee is worth it for the streaming TV/movie service.

not if you already have more TV that you can watch without a streaming
service

It's not the hours of programming available, but the quality.

I was using "more that you can watch" in the sense of actually wanting to
watch it.

I happen to like all of the re-run detective/thriller/comedy series on the
many Freeview/sat channels, and now that there are about 10 of them (drama
rerun channels) there is more programming than I can keep up with, so much
so that other genre that I used to like watching, I no longer have time for.

I have yet to see the details of a series exclusively on a steaming service
that is of any interest to me.

Who cares if the budget for one Game of Thrones ep is 10 times that for e.g.
an ep of Bergerac (in real terms).

Give me the latter any day (though I ticked that particular re-run ages ago)
