Could someone explain to me why they might be doing this? They paid all this money for a fiber optic network. In what business model does it make sense to then not use it? Can they really stay in business selling DSL speeds?!
btw, I live without cable and haven't had too many problems. The two biggest are: 1) some shows you have to resign yourself to watching a year late on DVD/Netflix (e.g. boardwalk empire, true blood, etc.) 2) some sports you just won't get (e.g. Monday Night Football,...) If those aren't deal-breakers, give it a try.
