I wouldn't say nobody. 
I dumped cable, internet, voip, and took up a Tracfone $10/month value plan. I didn't face starvation. I just realized how much money I was throwing away in order to have them in a time when gasoline was skyrocketing, food was going up, and natural gas was getting ever more expensive.
Almost everyone is going to buy tv, internet, and/or phone, most people need at least one of them, but the industry has to at least expect a slowdown in a recession. Less people signing up. Some dropping service altogether. Some looking for less expensive plans. Some looking for less expensive - less inclusive plans. |

You and I live in different worlds.
Just north of $300/month is my mortgage.
I can see where $300+ may seem small to someone living in areas of California where median home prices are half a million dollars and their incomes are substantial. In my world, it's crazy money to be spending on phone and a wire attached to the side of my home. |

I agree.... and $300/month for that service is more than 3x what I pay for service... and I think that what I pay is still too much.
Of course, I'd love a $300/month mortgage... I have nieghbors paying $3000/month mortgage (and going into foreclosure)

said by STLresident  :Reading these boards is very entertaining. People speak like experts when it so happens they have no idea what they are talking about. I prefer making sure I have my facts correct before posting on a website. Currently, all my services are with ATT (Home phone, internet, TV and Wireless). Besides home phone I have the premium packages for everything else. Internet-18mbps down/1.5mbps up TV-U400 (89 HD stations) (2HD/2SD streams at one time) Wireless- iphone unlimited talk and data All things added up brings my monthly service bill to just north of $300... WHile you all rip att about the last mile you fail to realize that they are milking the copper for all its worth. TO be honest, it wouldn't suprise me if in 2 or 3 years ATT to announce that a majority of the last mile has been replaced with fiber. ROFLMAO, look who's talking about not having any idea...
It's always funny when some clueless dude talks about others not having a clue... and he claims idiocies like 89 "HD" stations etc... 
...wake up, kid - you're clueless. Your so-called "HD" channels usually SD upconverted to 1280x1080i@low Mbit...
...unlimited iPhone data, ummmm, suuuuure...
...STFU and listen first, that's my advice to you, kid.

said by SterlingJ85 :Who thinks this guy is a complete idiot? Actually, not even close. Jim Cramer (CNBC) also agrees the guy is a few fries short of a Happy Meal, especially about VZ. This same character is notorious for not liking companies that spend serious amounts of money on R&D or capital expenditures or both (among his other notable-but-wrongheaded pans: Intel, Symantec, IBM after spinning off Global Storage to Hitachi and the PC operations to Lenovo, and Microsoft). Among this fella's hot picks: three companies that don't even *exist* any more - Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Merill Lynch. |
