That's the only reason I have cable TV, yes. If you wrangle with them, you can get a deal where they just relay you the broadcast channels, otherwise they give you a cheap starter deal and jack the price up after 6 months. The trick is to call the customer retention department and make them talk you out of unsubscribing.
Interestingly, I saw the other day that AT&T is proposing to offer fibre in SF and Oakland/Berkeley, which would be a game changer.
Given a choice between overpriced cable and slow DSL I'm open to other alternatives. The status quo sucks, and it doesn't particularly bother me that AT&T wants to get a good deal.
