I haven't had cable in long time. My only need is internet 60$ month (sadly I have to pick comcast due to no bandwidth cap otherwise I would have huge internet bills) and ATT for my phone 40$ month.

I buy Game Of Thrones DVDs and watch it at my friends houses when new seasons start. 

I have Comcast. 200+ channels of TV, On-Demand service, HBO and Encore movie channels, and 25 Mbps all for around $120 per month.

Mine's Cox.  No premium channels, just the lowest tier of TV service.  Internet is the middle of 3 plans with varying D/L speeds; you pay to open the throttle, lower speed service only $10 less.  Phone is basic service, two lines (one for fax); second line adds only $10.  They have a license to print money.  There is competition (technically) but you never get apples-to-apples because it's a competition between cable, DLS & satellite.  All of them bring you back to about the same monthly nut no matter how you cut it.

OK, who is your service provider? Cable or satellite? What Internet speed? What state?

Already.

We have the cable company Charter here in Eastern Missouri...

I'm looking at their website, and their most expensive package is $137...it gets you internet (advertised at 100 Mbps), phone, and TV with a 200+ channels and a bunch of premium stuff (like HBO, Cinemax, etc.)....

We just get internet which is $40 alone ($30 if you get phone or TV)...I can't tell you the actual speed we get because I'm travelling, but it's more than fast enough for anything we ever do...I know at my old place it was like 45 Mbps when Charter advertised as 60 Mbps a few years ago...

I cut cable and land line several years ago. Do not regret it at all, period. HD Antenna, Internet, AppleTV, Hulu, and Netflix. All is well.

Never had cable.

And yet you're continually crying 'poor'...

In Oz we have about 24 free-to-air channels of TV [no cost], I never really found a reason to add 'Foxtel' [cable TV] to the mix at x-dollars a month, so the only expenditure is for Broadband ADSL [internet] with phone at about $90 a month.  If there's something I GOTTA have/see I buy it on DVD [SOA, True Blood, etc]...

I never said I was the one paying the bills.

I live in Czech Republic, so I never really had a cable, but I did not buy a new TV set since the last one broke down some five or six years ago. Never regretted the decision. 

I 'cut off the cable' about eight years ago. I also replaced my land line with a cell phone (voice/text only).  I have broad band web service access via PC.  Switch back and forth between Netfilx and Hulu plus, depending on what shows I'm currently following.  I'm patient so I never have subscriptions to both active during same month.  Total package runs about 55/month.  It moves when I move - no disconnect/re-connect fees.  Mobile phone, web, and shows viewed over web = 55.  Whats not to like?

Cut cable six months ago and never looked back. With Netflix and Hulu streaming there's plenty of content (and no commercials on Netflix). After subscription fees we save about $60 Per month. It's been a good deal for us.

I had Charter for phone, internet and TV. Was paying about $180 but when it was time to renew they upped it to about $210 for the exact same thing. I told them if they would make it under $200 I would keep it. They said no and I said goodbye. I still have the 30mb service, though with my modem I get 60-80mb most of the time and my internet phone I now use is only about $9 per month. Another $9 each for Netflix and Hulu+ and we've been quite happy these past 2+ years. In retrospect, I feel almost "dumb" for not doing this a lot sooner!
