You don't need cable TV to have broadband, though you are offered a
discount if you want both.  But these days IIRC cable Internet costs
almost the same as what you're paying with Speakeasy.  I seem to
recall that Comcast's prices jumped up to about $65/mo. not too long
ago...   I looked into the options a bit about a year ago, and I think
you're going to find that there's nothing comparable for less money.  

About the only way to go, as far as I know, is some ultra-cheap web
hosting, with one of the almost-free dial-up services.  That might
save you a few bucks.
