How many here have cut the cord on tv?

49. Haha, Proud Public Servant, that almost exactly

what I did! I actually got a friendly comcast representative too. She understood what I was saying - that I wanted to keep high speed internet but had no use for crappy commercial television. We chatted a bit while she checked on something. Then she upgraded my internet to high-speed, kept the basic cable and lowered my bill considerably. I was previously paying way too much, like $130/month for both. Now I'm paying around $70/month. It's still a high price but comcast is the only provider in my area that gives good fairly reliable high speed internet. I'm now paying less that I would if I had gotten rid of all cable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of comcast and/or monopolistic practices by any large corporation. But I pick and choose my battles. I don't watch traditional tv much at all any more. But it's nice if cspan airs a state of the union address or for televised debates for governor or congress. And I'm still considering maybe getting the nfl network, or some kind of soccer channel, if a friend feels like coming over to visit enough to justify that cost.
