That's assuming cable is available in your area and useful in your residence - my
apt only has ONE cable outlet in the front room, I'd have to rip up the carpet to
run cable back to the bedrooms - no thanks. I have phone jacks in every room,
though.
And basic no frills cable is over $30/mo around here, I'd hate to think what it
would cost including net access.
