Actually you probably aren't. The distinction between internet and TV has become blurred. "Cable TV" is essentially packets of data via your internet connection. While you may stop subscribing to a specific TV service (where you are paying for content, and lots of it, whether you watch it or not), you will probably continue to have internet access (through these fools), albeit at a substantially reduced cost. While you can opt for internet access via a cell phone company, most people will find a better deal through a traditional "cable company" or "phone company". I stopped subscribing to a TV service several years ago but still have, and need, internet access. "TV" is gradually moving to an ala carte service (pay for the content you want). Over-the-air antennas, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Youtube TV, Sling TV, etc., are alternatives to traditional cable TV service but they all require internet access, accept for an over-the-air antenna.
Interestingly, the cost in dollars for broadband internet access hasn't really changed for me since 1995, when I first subscribed to DSL. Back then it was about $40/month for about 1 megabit/sec download. I pay about $35/month today but the bandwidth is obviously a lot higher. In terms of the value of a dollar, the cost has actually dropped substantially over the last 20+ years.
