I'm 25 and I never had TV when I moved out of my parents house. I mean, I obviously had "a" TV, but never used it to watch TV, cable - I basically use it as a display for my PS4 and to watch netflix, that's it. My ISP wanted to bundle a TV package with my broadband, but I just have absolutely no interest in watching it, it's a waste of time.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a TV and the cheapest cable/internet option I could get for the speeds I want through comcast. I stream whatever I get through chromecast stick and if it isn't offered that way I don't care to watch it.

My service comes with a set top box of sorts to watch like 10 different basic channels. It still is sitting in the trunk of my car unopened. Probably broken now that it has gone through a few winters sitting in my car's trunk. When I told them I wouldn't hook it up and asked if I could just not have it they kept telling me if I return it or don't take it my service will be disconnected.
