Is it that weird? I know lots of people who cut cable in favor of Hulu/Netflix/Amazon.
It's not weird. The media reports on "cord cutters" all the time.
That's what I figured. Granted that Buffistas are often early adopters of things like Roku/Apple TV/etc., so I knew about alternatives to cable for a long time. But in 2015, it's just not that weird for people to not have cable.
And the guy on the phone HAS to know that fioptics just means it's easier to stream stuff, which makes cable even more unnecessary.

Granted, I'm a member of the no cable group, so I probably overestimate its size. And I think cord-cutting probably is more associated with Millennials. But still.
I need to cut the cord Real Soon. Especially now that I'm kind of mostly over Game of Thrones.
Going on 11 years without it now here.
People keep coming to the door shilling for cable. They get a panicky look in their eye when I tell them I run off the antenna and Internet. But then these are kids who got sucked into the "You can get rich easy if you're just motivated enough to sell-sell-sell!" thing. But I don't feel sorry enough to sign up with Comcast. I'll go satellite first.
DirecTV has me in their clutches because football. Even the Xfinity guy had to concede that he had no way to pry me away.
Coffee shop was a good call. I planned to walk Walter down. Get my coffee and go home, but he talked me into a longer walk. Sitting on a bench at City Hall enjoying the grey and chilly day.
Apparently there's piped music along the waterfront, which I guess I knew but only really notice at Christmastime. Today it was playing an orchestral (or strings) version of The Wall.
10 years without.
Work is boring me, but I really need to do a tedious task. Maybe tomorrow.
About a month ago I cut the cord. They haven't gotten around to turning off my cable yet. It makes me wish I had more than basic cable before the snip.
The thing is, there isn't even really anything I want to watch on TV, I prefer the stuff I see on PBS. So cable makes no sense for me.
We haven't had cable for at least five years.
