Not at all. It's a relevant comparison.
Again, I don't have cable or satellite; I stream via Roku.
You can't bitch about the cable/satellite companies when you are using their internet service. It's that simple.
My ISP is my phone company. Cable/satellite internet is garbage.
And I certainly CAN complain about the crap on TV regardless of my internet use. Stop defending the indefensible.
It is possible to have internet without the cable. I use dsl thru ATT.
No cable or TV company support
Sure we can. Cancel the teevee service. Your money stops going to A&E, CNN, MSNBC, MTV...all of the teevee networks. The loss in revenue also gets the attention of said cable ISP. You're looking for reasons to justify the continuation of paying people who hate you. Maybe the wife will leave you if you cancel it. Maybe your kids will throw a temper tantrum. You need to get honest with yourself about why you keep paying them and quit making excuses. Did you think taking away one of the support mechanisms of the people that want you and those like you socially contained was going to be neat, clean and without some sacrifice? You're going to have to offend someone.
