> You are right. I just used the term colloquially. Or perhaps working for a cable company in US I imagined satellite TV doesn't even exist :-)
Here in Australia, cable TV no longer exists - the cable TV network was shut down last year - now the only paid TV options are streaming or satellite.
The physical cables still exist, but they are only used for Internet now. They were being upgraded to support higher bandwidth Internet and in the process support for transmitting cable TV was discontinued.
I’d be surprised if the same thing doesn’t happen elsewhere sooner or later
