Funny, this post could have been from me, I did the same thing last year. I also took up earthlink on their offer to host my cable modem. Now roadrunner (Time Warner Cable) only gets half of the bill they used to charge for my cable access. Earthlink gets the other $20/month. Not to mention they no longer get the $50/month for the crap on tv they used to pipe into my house. Why do I need tv when I've got slashdot? Here's what I don't get. All of these cable channels (except for premium) run as many commercials per hour as the channels that I get for free over the airwaves. Charging as much as they do for these channels, there's an aweful lot of money getting made somewhere.
