I watched nothing but broadcast TV for decades. I can get about 20 channels with my 40-foot tower. I swore I would never pay to watch TV because I was getting all of the networks free. When I got my computer four(?) years ago I had free AOL dial-up for 3 months. As soon as that expired I switched to Comcast, and having cable TV too gives me a $15 a month discount on my internet. If I didn't love truly high-speed, I would still be watching TV over the air like I did for 9/10s of my life. My mom has 28 k dial-up and my cable is 8,000 k, 286 times faster. I love it. DSL doesn't even come close to it. I could only get 768 k DSL when I tried last year. Comcast is 10.4 times faster than that. So now I have cable TV too.
