I'm thinking of dumping my cable for the price and what I get for it I find it's not worth it''' Plus I'm finding more channels are running the same show every 4 hrs( Same season and episode ) and sometimes back to back but that's more with movies... what say ye?

We have the bundle TV, internet, land line phone... the only reason I have the land line phone is for my dad in the UK.. It's cost so much to call international land line to cell

I dumped cable over ten years ago.
I can get what I need through downloading, netflix, etc.
IMO the only reason to have cable is if you are into sports
otherwise cancel that shit

bit of learning, but once you know usenet you can get anything, tv shows are usually uploaded within an hour of broadcast

This is my story too....my parents gave me a gigantic Sony TV that was in their living room when I was in high school when they upgraded. Originally Posted by DrDestouches

Got rid of my TV over 5 years ago. Can get everything online the day that it is aired. Free.
Will never go back.

I don't have cable - my Mother has netflix and hulu, but I never look at it. I hardly ever turn on the TV anymore.
And the cost savings! I cannot believe the price for cable these days!

I have the Comcast triple play too...I only use the land line to fax. I am thinking of getting rid of them as well, just keeping the internet. I do watch a lot of football so that's gonna suck. I might go with DISH for just that reason. I am so confused.

lately i want to dump cable again, but i also want to dump Netflix because the shit on there is mostly the same quality as what i used to get from WOR-NYC for free on broadcast TV. its only that Netflix for a month costs about what i pay for lunch daily that keeps me from cancelling.
ok, who writes "goo goo at a at a, fukin jew heeb"?
"fuckyoubigot i dont like you're sig" "repeated annoying comments"
