Basic stuff like cost, number of channels. The quality of signal  
coming through has gotten less than stellar reviews. I guess lack of  
local channels is an issue, but I don't have any first-hand  
experience. Just going by what people I know from the area have told  
me. I don't know anyone who still has cable any more.
