Whats a 100+ dollar cable bill to them? |

cable all you can do is watch TV at home. Phone you can do more than just talk and it's portable. Also TV content can get gotten for less legally or even free illegally. You can't do something similar with cell phone service. |

| I agree.
But, I've noticed people my age generally don't save money, so every month they are happy with spending half of their income on phone+ tv + whatever. |

I pay ~130 or so for my family cell phone bill. And we have a $110 Comcast Preferred Plus + Starz + HBO + Phone + 20mbit internet plan.
After dinner last night I turned the TV on. Flipped through all the channels. Twice. Couldn't find a single damn thing on that was worth watching.
I've started to question whether a $100+ cable bill is really worth it. Unfortunately though the internet-only option is only slightly less for similar speeds. |

True I can't believe people who hook up their whole family with smart phones. You're talking a car payment for that. |

Anyways my son just turn 16 and if he wants a smarthpone he can get a J O B and start paying his part of the cell phone bill. |

cable all you can do is watch TV at home. Phone you can do more than just talk and it's portable. Also TV content can get gotten for less legally or even free illegally. You can't do something similar with cell phone service. Sure you can. Get an iPod Touch, deactivated iPhone or Android phone, install the Skype app and find an open wifi spot. Granted it would only be free Skype to Skype, but it still is a work around.
Anyhow, my cable bill actually went DOWN $17. And that's with the same level of services and not threatening to cancel anything. Time Warner just started offering a version of Signature Home with all the premium movie packages (sans Starz) for $230, which is an about $17 savings over having each one separately.
