I dumped cable two years ago and installed an HD antenna in my attic. I get all the network with excellent reception/picture. I also plugged a computer in to the TV, and use the TV as a monitor to watch movies online via Netflix, etc.
You have to keep your internet service, but other than that, pretty low cost ($7.99/mnth for netflix).

you can keep just the internet part of cable, and ditch the other services.
you can do the same with dsl, if it is available near you. most companies removed the "must have land line" requirement.
if you are using a wireless plan, service by any of the big companies, be careful as you may run into overage charges depending on how heavily you use your internet. many are starting to set GB/month limits and if you are a heavy user, and go over, you may get dinged big time.
no experience with sat internet providers.

No matter what, stay away from Hughes Net. It is without a doubt the worst service I have ever had. I have 5 more months on the contract then I will give them the boot!

At home I have ATT Uverse high speed only no phone or TV.
I have Verizon 4g jetpack for work, upto 10 people can log on, Its fast if your in coverage, but its only a 5GB month plan. Not sure what the overage is, if you are only surfing the web you will be OK but start watching videos and stuff you can hit it.
I also had a sprint one (just switched to Verizon this month) it was unlimited 4G but the coverage didn't even compare to Verizon, but I'm using it mobile. I would see if Sprint will cover your area first.

ok, thanks ya'll. $108 a month for TV and internet is a little steep I think. Don't know what HD antenna would do up here in the mtns. Being a Ham radio op., I know that UHF and VHF is a tough row to hoe up in here, being line of sight signal transmission and receive for thos freqs..

The only option I have besides some kind of satelite internet is at&t dsl. I pay for the extreme speed and still have a lot of trouble watching videos and surfing the web at peek times. I wish like crazy I could get cable or uverse, dsl stinks.
