Wow I save $100/mo. & get free lovin'! Bonus!
First night of operation cable cut was pretty sweet. I loaded up my Netflix & Hulu+ queues with stuff. Then watched one of each. Flawless & good quality I'm impresed.
I did discover the first con of Hulu+ - I CAN WATCH IT ON MY DROID! That's gonna be a problem at work...

I didn't read the thread, but I can answer the question in one word: Sports.
Sports is the only thing you truly give up by cutting the cable. This is primarily because of the importance of seeing sports at the time they're taking place. Having to wait an extra hour or 24 to watch any other TV show doesn't reduce your enjoyment of it.
So just ask yourself if sports is worth $50+ per month. If the answer is no, or if you'd have more fun having a $50/mo sports bar budget, cut the cord and don't look back.*

That's the thing that kept me lingering with my service for so long. I then realized that I get all the broadcast stations through antenna, and football is about all I avidly watch. I lose out on some ESPN, but I was jumping up and down in excitement when I found out I realized I didn't need cable to watch football. Sometimes I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to catch a game I didn't have, so it worked out for me.

damn it, I posted a huge sports thing and it got trashed. Anywhow, 2 cents
Sports are BETTER off cable. I got the MLB package via broad internet vs via cable. Its cheaper, has more HD games and way more features like instant, up to date stats, the ability to switch audio feeds, etc.
Most NFL games are over the air
The NHL and the NBA have similar season pass packages. The only downside is the local blackouts, but there are ways around that.
