For those of you that have it... are you happy with it, ever lose service because of bad weather if so how often, do you have internet through it too? I notice there's a two year contract with most of the providers....
Basically I wanna get rid of cable.
The bill is like 120 bucks a month and now ABC has been blacked out in Maine because Time Warner Cable and the ABC affiliate here can't come to an agreement about money. I don't actually watch anything on ABC, but it pisses me off to think I pay that much a month and if I wanted to watch ABC I wouldn't be able to.
So anyway, any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I finally switched from Comcast to Directv in the spring, and I love it. I have double the package that I had with Comcast, for half the cost. The big issue right now is the fight between Viacom and Directv. Viacom is trying to back out of a deal and jack up their rates, and Directv is standing their ground. The only thing I'm missing that matters right now is Comedy Central.
