I've never had cable TV. We lived in a small town where cable was not available in the 80s, and I got used to watching only the regular local broadcasts. When I first moved to Raleigh, we were on a tight budget because we hadn't converted our first home to a rental, so we skipped cable. When I found out how much it cost, I decided against getting it.
I have Time Warner internet cable through Earthlink. Time Warner bills me, but I get Earthlink emails and server space. Paying for cable TV is not a requirement.
You can get Earthlink cable internet for $35 a month.
