cable is essentially a monopoly - pretty much tells you what you need to know...

I usually drop it every spring and resume in the winter (after some bargaining over the phone for lower rates). But with digital I can get the PBS channel pretty well, so I'd miss Discovery and History channels - not much. I skipped cable all this winter (free DVDs from the library + the 2 channels from PBS) and do not plan to renew.

I DID buy some Comcast stock tho...
