 I can use the PS3 to watch TV on the TV

 

Wouldn't it be easier to cut out the middleman and just watch TV on your TV directly? 

Also, who needs grainy Hulu resolutions when you can record full HD on your DVR?

 

   Time Warner has raised cable costs to 55 dollars and that's for basic plus a handful of crap expanded channels I don't want like MTV and VH1.  Yes, I only pay for high speed internet and watch whatever I want on the PS3 for free either through hulu, or if they neglect to offer me an ad supported way to watch TV shows on the pirate bay.

   It is REALLY easy to stop paying the 55+ dollar cable tax once you put your mind to it.  Hulu and other similar sites at CBS, Fox and the like make it even easier.

   My cable bill is 25 dollars for 10mb/s high speed internet and I watch all the shows I want just fine, how about yours?

 

Damn, Time Warner charges me 50 bucks a month for 10mbps. =  They're also the only option here unless you want AT&T dsl, and I live in freakin San Diego City. Are internet options normally this limited? I grew up away from the city and I thought we were limited because of that fact. Now it seems limited everywhere.

  See what you do is you call and say you're going to cancel because DSL is only 25 bucks a month (which it is).  If need be you switch to ATT (who will give you a great deal if you switch from time warner) then use one of the winback promotions time warner offers.  If you play the two against each other you can get sub 30 dollar high speed internet perpetually.

 

  Yes there are only 2 choices, ATT gets the DSL monopoly, TWC gets the cable monopoly.  There's satellite internet but thats horribly expensive and bad for uploads.  Legal monopolies ftl.

  You can also get your cable down to 30 bucks with the same kind of behavior, just be ready to follow through on the threat and go to the alternate provider for a while if need be.  I had DSL for 6 months and it wasn't bad at all (I just prefer cable for the higher off peak hours speed).
