I've barely ever had cable since moving out of my parents' house at 18. I had it at my apartment from 2014-16, but I think the only thing I ever watched was one Golden Girls marathon and maybe three or four episodes of House Hunters International. (In other words, the only stations that interest me are HGTV and whichever airs the sitcoms of my childhood.) My parents still have cable but even they mostly just watch streaming services. Except they love to watch the news, which I think is a generational thing. I don't know anyone my age or younger who watches television news regularly, and I can't imagine any of them have cable, either. No, my brother almost certainly has cable, but he works for ESPN so he has a pretty good reason.

The last thing that had me hanging on to cable was the news. I do like to watch TV on certain occasions. But, there are other ways to scratch that itch.

I watch the news - CNN, MSNBC, sometimes BBC and others. So I would miss that. And we get our internet via comcast/xfinity. Where do you get your internet?

Comcast. Our building only has two options.
