Everything is so expensive that I've considered just ending my cable TV service (but keeping the internet).

You can still get very cheap dialup with turbo speed. I use it on my laptop when I don't have any other access while traveling. Even PeoplePC offers a cheap service that has broad coverage. It's available via local phone lines in most (but not all) places. If I have to use pay-for-service long distance, I set it to just jump online, download my email, and logoff. That works with newsgroups, too, but not propeller.
There is also a growing number of satellite ISPs, and even the larger companies, like Verizon, for example, are starting to offer more satellite service.
Of course, there is nothing like broadband. -
