I finally broke down and setup cable TV and cable modem access.  The 
digital cable system has ADVERTISING on every menu!  Whenever you hit 
guide, or menu, or whatever, there are ads everywhere.

Also, the cable modem speeds are 256/128 for ~$40.00 per month!  What's 
up with that!  Cox Cable in Macon had much better service (> 1Mbps) for 
$40.00 per month.  Heck, even BS DSL was a better deal than this.

Danged monopolies!
