I&#x27;m 32 years old. I haven&#x27;t ever had a cable subscription or equivalent.<p>I grew up in rural Canada. We had two channels (broadcast) because cable companies wouldn&#x27;t service our area.<p>Once I moved out, I could barely afford to buy beer, let alone a cable package. With the internet providing endless amusement, it was a pretty easy choice: the beer won.<p>Today, I have a netflix account. The cable company is still getting their pound of flesh from me; my internet costs $80 a month. Oh how I miss the days of living downtown, where I could get cheap fibre...<p>I don&#x27;t know why anyone would give a damn about having cable TV. It provides very little value for a very high price.
