Cutting the cord is harder when you only have a few internet options. We only have comcast(cable)or frontier(dsl). I've called multiple times to get my bill lowered and have threatened to cancel. They'll call my bluff and ask for my cancellation date. Then I have to call then back and say I've changed my mind.

I have 2 OTA antennas that I can use. Problem is where I'm at winter reception is great but once leaves grow back it's too inconsistent and I cant get bigger antennas. I'm just not that close to the towers. I had no cable for 2 years and felt more productive too because I didn't feel the need to have to watch tv because I was paying for it. Problem is, there are 6 other people that feel differently.

If I could get internet for $50 a month, I'd cancel cable in a heartbeat. It's $125 with all fees and taxes with internet. Internet by itself would be $75 otherwise. I like knowing that what I want to watch will be coming in when I want to watch it or on demand. I hate cable but until there's more competition around here, I have to make it up as I go along
