As we have others here who have successfully cut their cable...how did you handle it? Are you on long-term contracts for internet service? And for TV -- what are you doing... hulu, Netflix, antenna (OTA) or what?
Anything I should be on the lookout for?
Also, I am a snowbird effectively each location for ~ 6 months. The FL condo fees include basic Comcast cable, so this question applies to my northern location only.

We cut the cord maybe 7 or 8 years ago.
We get our internet through the local phone company - yes, we still have the landline. It is DSL and our speed is only 11 Mbs - which isn't bad for our use. We can have 2 people streaming simultaneously without any issues. We have a price for life package which includes the DSL and landline. We could get "dry DSL" meaning without the landline, but the cost differential is less than $15/month, so we keep the landline. We do have the alternative to get our internet from Comcast/Xfinity standalone without the cable service. However, once the initial teaser offer ends, the price is relatively high, though we could get much higher speeds than the DSL. From our history/experience with Comcast, we just don't trust them, so it would be our last resort.
You should be able to get DSL from your local phone company, and you may also be able to get internet from AT&T or other providers at your location. If you go to their website you can plug in your address and check. You can also contact the local cable company and see what they would charge for internet only.
For TV, my family would not allow dropping the cable until I provided the local stations. I purchased 3 digital antennas, installed in our attic and pointed them at the metropolitan areas within 50 miles. The attic install was significantly easier than outdoors. The antennas are very good, though not sturdy enough that I would be comfortable installing outdoors. Luckily we get good reception in my area, even with the antennas in the attic - which surprises many folks. We get over 80 stations OTA, though we watch probably only 15 of them - ignoring the foreign stations, QVC, HSN, etc. Every year more and more becomes available OTA and the receivers automatically pick them up. We have a OTA Tivo and it's wonderful. The OTA Tivo comes with lifetime subscription, so there was just the original purchase price - no monthly fees.
We pay for Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. We have the cheap Hulu, and lowered our Netflix to the minimum service level when they last raised prices and don't really notice any difference, other than only one person can be using it at a time. We have Rokus on all of our sets and there are quite a few free offerings which are very good - pluto.tv is a winner.
Now we have many more options than we did with cable/satellite, for a fraction of the cost, more comes online all the time, and more of the options are things we will watch.
