    I wonder what’s the average age of cable TV subscribers overall.

      Probably 50’s?

      Dunno.

      I cut the cable TV cord in 1999 when we got cable internet.

      The cost for both services was too great and I decided if I was going to have a monthly bill for something of this nature, I’d at least opt for the service that contained a two-way communications ability.

      Best decision ever.

        I’m in my 50’s. I haven’t paid for cable TV since 2008. Of course I worked for a cable company for over a decade and had full cable. When the job went away so did the cable. I only ever watched it when there was a problem with a channel. So losing it meant no more having to sit through mind numbing shows that sucked.
