We are saving $100 a month on our bills and can't believe we didn't do it sooner! My kids can watch their favorite shows on PBS and Netflix and I get sports on my xbox 360 via ESPN. Why don't more people do this? My wife and I recently dropped our premium channels and kept basic cable and internet service.

I dont even use the home line but we need it because my wife has a home daycare and need 911 service, and a credit card device she uses. With taxes and fees it comes out to $21 cable and internet= $41.50 I have limited basic cable, I am not sure it is offered anymore I have had this plan for 6 years. It is a limited package. Most of the shows I watch I can watch online anyway. I only have the tv package to get the discounted internet package. My internet is $19.99 per month comcast package. It is a promo rate, but if they raise my price I have no problem switching to dsl. No I have basic services.

I have a stripped down cable/internet package and independent phone total cost per month is $62.50 with taxes and fees for all 3. <br>What gets me is why these companies dont offer long term customers the same discounts they offer new customers. The should offer some type of loyalty discount or something after 2 years, i think it would keep customers from switching during promotions offered by competitors.

But, we were paying $150 before when we had phone and internet through another company. So, we are saving $35 a month to have all the services through one company.
