The cable box sat in a closet for three or four years until I returned it upon going to fiber.
The other annoyance was that Verizon was charging something like $15/month for our router/WiFi. I did some research and bought a gently used one from ScamBay that was compatible and like $75 so it paid for itself quite quickly. Back when we had the TV etc. they were giving us teaser rates but charging $15/month for each channel tuner (we had two) and the router. Sad!
