A lot. Its a fairly common topic of conversation with the <30 demo when you move calling comcast/time warner and requesting "Internet without TV or phone".

Most sales people get kinda bent hearing this. Hearing some of the deals they throw at you is hilarious, "We'll throw in channel package XYZ for only an extra $15 a month more then your internet." "Why would I pay more for something I'm not going to use?" "Well you own a TV don't you?" "Yes and its connected to a computer."

I love that conversation

> "Don't you own a TV?"

> "No, I don't. I own a 50 inch computer monitor. It's hooked to a Chromecast, Roku, and PlayStation. We don't own a 'TV' of any kind."
