We are switching to cable today. Our current internet provider just has not cut it. It doesn't matter how fast your service is if the stupid stuff flickers on and off at random whim. And tech support? "It's not our problem." Uh huh.
So the cable company at least has the reputation of sending someone to your house if something isn't working, which should be a marked improvement.
Unfortunately, you save $200 in installation fees if you go whole hog and get internet, phone, and TV. So even though we hardly ever use the home phone and I fear cable with a passion, that's the way we're going (for now, at least).
So hopefully I'll be able to resist the urge to sit on the couch and change the channel every three seconds, which is what I usually do in places where 200 TV stations are available. It just seems like there ought to be something good on, somewhere. And by the time you've flipped through all 200, a half hour is up and you can start over at the beginning.
We're getting cable. May God have mercy on our souls...

It's worse the fewer channels you have. We pared down our cable service a while back, the end result being that the percentage of suck went way up. This tends to increase the frequency of channel changing.
The one thing that seems not to change is the power of the magnetic vortex between the couch and television that will keep you firmly ensconced.
I've lived my entire life without it. PBS had been all I've watched on tv in the past ten years...
