Um, isn't your Internet access cable based?

Yes. "Canceling all TV service" would actually mean "minimizing all TV service" here. I have digital and HBO and other crap.

Of course it theoretically could mean "killing all cable and switching to DSL" but that's probably not an option since DSL still probably totally sucks in this neighborhood. It did as recently as a year and a half ago, anyway.

I had internet access via my cable company at my previous place. The way they handled it was that if you had cable TV with them you pay the regular internet access fees -- but if you did NOT subscribe to cable TV as well you would pay an extra $10/month.

Minimal basic cable TV (local channels plus about 15 more) was only about $17/month. We figured for the extra $7/month we could use better local TV and those few extra channels .
