What is harder to deal with "NO CABLE SERVICE or NO INTERNET SERVICE?" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 12-03-2007, 01:23 PM

I have been without cable for 24 hours and have been SICK. Thank God for the Internet because I would really be depressed. I think having no CABLE bothers me more because it's so connected to my Internet. So using the Internet without cable is like

"Driving in a Car with Four Flat Tires" The web is not the same without cable

lol

Internet service would be the hardest for me to deal with. I have directv and if it went out, I could easily live without it.

In my room right now twitching and foaming at the mouth waiting for the cable man-lol

Why would u be more bothered by no internet?

Not having the Internet would bother me the most - no IM, no email, no message boards, no YouTube, etc.,.
If the cable was out, I could just watch DVDs until it's back on.

I need it for eBay, Can't do much selling without internet access unless I do it at my Brother's home. I would also go out of my mind if I couldn't read my E-mails or visit the message boards I post at.

I don't really care about tv, but I do care about the Internet. My husband on the other hand, if the tv ever went out during a playoff game, he'd flip.

EmoJoe · 12-03-2007, 04:37 PM

internet. i only watch TV when my favorite shows are on, or if i'm really bored and just flipping through channels.

waichingliu81 · 12-03-2007, 04:49 PM

no internet for me- i could live without tv because here in the uk there is hardly anything good on anyway these days, but when it comes to the web and the computer, that's a different matter. i can visit this site, imdb and you tube others to name, interact with people like yourself online, send messages, listen to music, watch tv etc

I haven't had cable TV since August, and I'm fine with that (except I'd like to watch House soon). Internet service... I would hurt someone if I absolutely had to go without internet for whatever reason. It's my lifeline, pretty much.

friendsfan77 · 12-03-2007, 05:03 PM

Internet. There is TV that I'm interested in, but not on many channels.

Tubehead · 12-03-2007, 05:08 PM

I would say tv. because if the cable goes out i can still watch dvds. but if the power goes out then theinternet and cable would be gone. we had our power cut off couple month ago. it was a thunder strom. I can live without the net. i'm more of a tv persons.

I agree 100%, There is no back up plan for the WEB, but with the cable going out you can always turn to DVD's

80s_Fan · 12-03-2007, 05:21 PM

I would rather have no cable service than no internet service.

HuntingtonM15 · 12-03-2007, 05:43 PM

Definitely having no internet would be harder for me.

Max Whittaker · 12-03-2007, 05:47 PM

No internet service. Hands down! I rely on it for so much.

I canceled my cable a year and a half ago and I've been happier for it. I can live without tv. More than that; I thrive without it!
