If we buy an HDTV antenna, can we still connect through the existing cable wires without losing internet access?

We have our internet and cable services bundled, but we're ready to drop cable TV. If we use the existing cable hook-up to attach an attic/rooftop HDTV antenna, will we love our internet? Any ways around this? Special splitter? Please advise - gotta dump this underused cable service!

You will not 'lose' your Internet but you should check with your provider to verify the cost of web-only options.
And you do not need an "HDTV" antenna -- any conventional TV antenna will work just dandy. Even 'rabbit ears' ...
True, there is no such thing as an HDTV antenna, but rabbit ears... only if you live very close to the tv station.
@OP: I suggest you check out antennaweb to see what size/type of an antenna you need.
