Saw a story on Time.com's site a week ago that said the price of cable has escalated (I think it was 3x, but I'm not certain) far beyond the cost of inflation over the past couple of years.

Also, not surprisingly, that in places where cable faces competition, this rate is significantly lowered.

One of these days when I get around to it, I really think I'm going to toss AT&T Broadband (the Bay's system) for DirectTV. Anyone with a dish to give me pointers?
