Cable? That's a luxury plus you need internet which isn't cheap.
Internet however is not a luxury anymore. You need it for work. You need it to find a job. Now for those who can't afford even that there is the library or job center with computer access but still it's best to have 24/7 access. So you can check email and network. Many companies only email you to set up interviews. It's just cheaper to pay $50 a month for cell and data plan but depending on your job you may need regular internet for training which cost anywhere from $50 to $80 a month.
As for entertainment. There's the library and there is local TV.
Those on SNAP qualify for a dumb phone with 200 to 300 minutes free a month depending which carrier you go with. However it's just phone/texting no internet. The phones are cheap little things.
