We loved it a lot (except for the cons you already mentioned).

The new place is poorly positioned for a dish, however, so we're stuck with Digital Cable. (So they call it, except that the hybrid fiber-coax hasn't been run in our neighborhood.)

Result: More outages with the cable service, poorer selection of channels (I want the *East* coast feed of Comedy Central, darn it!) and a higher price.

And I don't even get cable broadband service, to boot.
