| ... I could still afford my cable, internet, and VoIP, but I shut them off just the same to save some money. No one else I know has, so it wouldn't surprise me if subs weren't down.
I have to wonder if th industry is going to reach a point where more people do finally start saying enough is enough. Just this weekend a friend was telling me his Verizon bill, which covers his cell, home phone, tv, and internet, is $275/month. He is just a single guy so his bill is considerably less than others I know who have families and multiple cell phones.
Almost everyone needs a phone. Internet is a necessity for many, but tv has competition that is free: On-line and over-the-air. If they are not feeling the heat they should feel pretty good. | |

Was he complaining, or is he not worried about it? I have all those services from three different companies, and my total is $200/month, which is bad enough. If I lost my job, the $102/month for cable would be the first thing to go.

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something. | |
| He mentioned it matter-of-fact, no complaining. I didn't comment about it either. It's his business.  He did mention the cell plan had mega minutes on it. I guess he uses his phone a lot. So that may be one reason his is as high as it is.
When I had cable, internet, and voip, they cost me $110 combined. If I had a cell phone too I expect it would have been less than $200, but close. I just use a Tracfone now @ under $11 per month - use over-the-air for tv - and internet at work as needed. | |
