I'm 32 years old. I haven't ever had a cable subscription or equivalent. I grew up in rural Canada. We had two channels (broadcast) because cable companies wouldn't service our area. 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. 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... I don't know why anyone would give a damn about having cable TV. It provides very little value for a very high price.
