I got rid of my cable service about a year ago and haven't regretted it. It seems to me there is a lot of room for cable companies to easily improve their service, yet IMO it remains consistently poor. - On demand selections are limited, and the interface is usually pretty clunky. If I have a DVR, I have to remember in advance to record something, rather than being able to just grab it after the fact. - You need to have a physical box, which either arrives outdated or quickly becomes outdated, and they never replace it. - It costs $60-$70/month for decent cable service where I live, versus $8/month for Netflix. Combine that with Hulu and free on-demand streaming from major TV networks, and it's a great bargain. The only thing I miss about having cable is being able to channel surf when I'm bored. Honestly, I am probably a more productive human being without wasting my time doing that, so I'm not too disappointed.
