They are. If you call them and bitch, ready to jump to satellite, they will cut you a deal, though. I get every channel offered in my area, internet, and voice. The Retail price is $230, but I pay $166. Every year I have to do the routine about leaving when my bill suddenly jumps, and they extend it.
As for using the internet as a replacement, it is not quite there for me yet. I use a netgear neotv sometimes, and it is not nearly as convenient as cable.

We have too many boxes. Everytime they made us a deal once they added in the box rentals it went through da roof.
Should be possible to buy the boxes. Its a racket with the rentals, like Ma Bell used to do with their monopoly on the phones and making you rent them.
No way I'll ever spend that much here. Now Harleys? That's a different beast altogether. I really need to not own more than one... or two... maybe three.
