I cut the cable a decade or so ago, and never looked back. We do own an old big screen TV which is mostly there to hide a shitty drywall repair job I did a few years ago, and to watch the occasional DVD from the public library. We also recently cut our internet/land line combo and now only have home internet via hotspot on my wife's smartphone on a $35/month Windmobile plan which includes "unlimited" internet, which is enough since we do not watch videos, play music or video games. Unfortunately, because I work in an area where my wife's cheap plan does not work, I must subscribe to a call/text plan with Bell Mobility. Cheapest is $45/month, without a data plan which I can live without since I am connected to the internet practically 24/7 at the office and at my crashpad, for free.
