We had been paying $30/month for cable, but then our cable provider almost doubled our rate, so we decided to cut our service back.

For the last four months, we got by okay with just local channels. We did wish that we didn't have to miss out on some sporting events on cable, but we weren't about to double our cable bill just to see a few games.

Then, late last week a Comcast representative knocked on our door and offered us the same deal that we'd had in the past. It, again, is just an "introductory rate" for 6 months, but last time that 6 month introductory rate lasted for a full year.

We'll have our service set up next weekend and are excited about getting to see some playoff hockey, regular season baseball, and world cup soccer.
