Reply #26: Get rid of cable because three news channels suck? I don't have cable...

[TreasonousBastard]

for three sucky news channels. I don't have cable for sports, or how to buy a house, or infomercials about cheap knives or sex toys at 4AM, either.

(Well, ok, maybe the sex toys...)

I have cable because I can't get much broadcast TV where I am and there are some shows I actually LIKE on TV. Some of those are even informative. Jeez, what a thought-- watching TV for entertainment without having to turn on a computer or wasting time downloading.

And, ummm, today was one of those days I was glued to the screen checking traffic and weather on cable because I was supposed to be somewhere about 60 miles down the road. Cancelled, thanks to the very local and specific snowstorm reports.

FIOS or DSL are not not available from the phone company where I am, but if they were, I know the rates, and they would be more expensive and slower.
