Not sure where you live but I’ve never had a contract. I’ve had cable since the 90s. Still have it.

Don’t like cable. Seriously considering dropping it and getting an antenna.

Edit : are people down voting me because they don't like the fact that I don't have a contract?

I have lived all over the USA and have never once heard of someone having cable without at least a 1yr contract.

Where did they mention the USA?

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

They didn't, I did cause that's the only country I have experience with cable companies.
