Actually cable ISPs are perfectly happy with the customers dumping the TV part of cable, so long as they keep on the ISP part. The TV part of cable is quickly becoming the loss leader, with channels constantly increasing the price they’re charging the cable company which then either forces the cable company to increase what they charge which alienates customers or let the increase eat into their profit. The internet portion of their business is free of that, they just need to keep the throughput up, which is easier the more people that aren’t watching TV.
The problem with net neutrality is it puts the government in charge. ISPs are easier to replace than the government.
So how come so many of them are capping/throttling their ISP services rather than the TV services?
How come no cable company has said "from now on your monthly payment only entitles you to 120 hours of TV a month"?
