Many thanks to all of the informed and interesting replies. I'll keep you posted when and if we make the jump to cutting off the cable. I'm leaning toward yes, but since part of the reason is financial I feel obligated to try to negotiate the company to a lower 'new customer' rate to see if I can't have the best of both worlds for a few months.
To elaborate, TWC locally is offering new customers who bundle services the following deal: $30 per month, per service (phone, internet, cable) if you are willing to sign up for at least 2. I already have cable and internet through them, but I'm currently paying $112/month for just those 2 services. I figure that as a dissatisfied customer they may be willing to extend the 'new customer' offer to me in order to keep me as a customer. If not, then I have the option to 'walk away' from the negotiation by simply canceling the cable service and retaining the internet connection.
