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.
Extremely underpaid ($11.50/hr as their lead dev and no benefits) to some place where my salary was doubled with benefits.
No advancement past what I had obtained. Wasn't going anywhere. I did stay there for three years though. Lots of experience that made it so I could easily turn down offers now.
I gave them a month notice to find someone before I left. They didn't find anyone until a month after I left.
