Well, I do try to provide some balance to the argument!

Yes, there are fewer cutting the cord, but the trend continues.

The top six cable companies lost about 280,000 video subscribers in 2016 – compared to a loss of about 410,000 subscribers in 2015, and 1,200,000 subscribers in 2014.

However, traditional pay-TV services (not including Internet-delivered services) lost about 1,640,000 subscribers in 2016 – compared to a loss of about 980,000 in 2015.

You should be proud, Den. Clearly, you are living proof that even when presented with all the evidence to the contrary, some will cling to their mistaken beliefs until the bitter end!
