What are the pros and cons of cable television?

[Edit]

Answer

I hope this might help, I have dish network and before I asked the same thing too. My dad has cable, I have dish, so who is better? Well we both get basically the same channels in a day to day basis, but there is a better plan difference. I have dish, DSL, Phone through Sprint. Mmmmm..... so does my dad. He has cable tv, phone, and road runner all for about $84.00 a month!!! I can beat that cause my bill is $104.00 a month for the same features.

Now you might say, bad weather you loose your signal on dish. Yeah your right about that! Well when bad weather comes not only will your cable be effected, but if you loose power like me and my dad in hurricane Rita, my dad had no cable, internet, or phone because it works through the cable modem. At least my phone worked so I can call the emergency crew, my dad had to you his cell phone, but even at that the network was down and he couldn't get a signal.

Way your odds, I picked the phone with Sprint cause it never failed yet!
