They'll just charge you $200 for Internet service instead.

No cable TV = less extortionate license fees for them from content cartels, but they still control your pipe to the Internet, so they can just raise the cost of that, and have record profits.

We have cable competition where I live including municipal multi gig fiber optics to each home for about $60 per month. Camcrap and the other guys charge about $25 per month for just internet. Oh, and Comcrap customer service answers the phone on the firt ring. They are desperate for subscribers and it shows. When they had a monopoly they pissed everyone off and it has taken almost 20 years for people to forget how awful they were.

Who has cable? Only 12%? I would have guessed it was way worse than that. I honestly do not know anyone who has cable. Even my 70 year old mother doesn't have cable.
