I can't get cable where I live.

Nope. Cut the cord several years ago, have not looked back since.

The catch is that all the cable channels we got were flukes on Spectrum's end.

You could just ask, are you over the age of 55? 🤣

Cable TV is one of the biggest scams around. Preying off the elderly.

Hey, I'm 56 and I haven't used cable television for over a decade now. Cut the cable in 2012 and went full streaming when most folks were still too scared to. And I damn well am not "elderly" or being preyed on (no more than anyone else who has to put up with vulture corporations I mean).

I remember the first year I didn’t have cable was when the cubs won the World Series, it’s been a while.

If you are a sports fan and watch BoSox, Bruins, C’s and Pats you pretty much have to subscribe to cable/satellite to watch them. So yeah I have a cable

I'm surprised cable still exists, it's such a rip off for what you get.

I got rid of cable like 2011? Then I got dish or direct tv in like 2013 for less than a year because I missed live sports and I was sick of going to bars or watching pirated streams. But then I realized I'm fine doing that if it means saving 100s per month.

Nope. I pay ~$80 for internet and share a few subscriptions. I pay for Disney+

My mother is in her 60s and she managed to cut the cord. Relies on Hulu, Netflix and Pluto TV now, although she bags on Netflix for their terrible taste in horror movies and doesn't quite know how it works once in a blue moon.

Only ever had online cable TV and only free trials to catch things like the Macy's parade and ball drops.

No cable available on my road. I cut off the DSL to save money. And all of my streaming services.

Our town is working on getting broadband internet, but IDK how long it's going to take. I only watch free movies online. That's it.

I have a free ancient government Android Schok phone and YouTube has recently uploaded some old school movies. I get 4G LTE and my calls frequently drop. I own a lavender iPhone 12, but I can't afford the $55 monthly payment and I don't know how to download all the texts from my slimy landlord's niece who was his POA when he was in Otisville prison for dealing cocaine and I am at the end of my rope over here in Leeds, does that answer your fucking question?
