Has anyone given up cable or satellite TV for internet?

The whole digital conversion thing irks me. We live 50 miles from the tv stations. Since that change, we can’t get one channel, with or without a converter box. This really helped us, didn’t it? I think the gov’t was in cahoots with DirecTV.

I love living in the country, but the utilities stink. I salivate reading all the posts about combo packages. We pay $60/mo for wireless (not DSL, and much slower) internet, our phone exchange has 500 people and they will never lay fiber optic for such a small exchange, and I can’t even get one TV channel for free. /sigh/
