Just found an extra $110 / mo for MODS!
Cancelled my cable and home internet. I was only logging on to the computer once a week to use i-net and haven't watched cable in months.
I have net in emergency through the Blackberry, and I really only use netflix on my TV late at night.
We'll see how this works out, or what the girls think of it!

Erick has found a way around the TV internet thing.
I don't have internet on my phone, so must have it at home. TV, I buy the cheapest cable package that is out there, but I hate paying the thieves at ComCast.

I don't have cable at all. Picked up an HD antenna so i can get the local channels for free. I pay $40 a month for my internet. Use Hulu, Boxee, and torrents for any tv shows that I want to watch that the antenna doesn't pick up. Television as we used to know it is dead.

Nope, but thanks to torrents, i can download all those shows. Have never missed an episode of True Blood, Dexter, Californication or Weeds because of my lack of cable. The only reason I ever wish I still had cable is for some sporting events. But most worth watching are on the main networks regardless.
I will say, when NBC was pushing all the hockey games to MSNBC and CNBC last month, I almost considered getting that package. That pissed me off.
