This question on the Oakhurst Message Board reminded me to bring this up.

Many of us poor saps pay over $100 a month for cable & internet.  And if I’m not mistaken, over a 12-month period that will add up to over a thousand dollars of my hardish-earned money!

I’ve been pretty bothered by this fact lately, and recently I have had a few techno-fantasies of switching from cable to the “HD-antenna/HULU option” (Especially since you can now get Netflix video through a Nintendo Wii).

And about a month ago, another option showed up in my mailbox.  At long last, AT&T U-Verse is available in my neighborhood.  And while the rates don’t seem all that much cheaper than Comcast, I’m at least hopeful that the hardware is a bit better.  However, I am a bit worried that my internet will suffer if I move off Comcast cable internet.

Has anyone out there taken the leap and either cut the cable cord entirely or switched to U-Verse?  How is your new entertainment life stacking up against the previous one fueled by a crappy Comcast DVR and a $100+ a month cable bill?
