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.
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.
