It annoys me we can't get just internet and that it costs so much, but that's a monopoly for you.

Who is your provider? I'm paying $75 just for Comcast (no Fios available).

$268 a month with Fios Internet 75/75, Fios TV Ultimate HD and Fios Digital Voice Unlimited

I didn't know anyone rented equipment. You can always buy your own.

Why do you still need a home phone? You should look into VoIP.

Yeah I'd get rid of the phone. The taxes on phone service are ridiculous, even if the fee from the provider is the same with or without phone.

NP.

We pay $85/month (plus taxes, comes to $99/month) for the FIOS triple play (50/50 Internet, Basic cable, VoIP landline). For a long time, I was a double play (Internet/VoIP) but the last time, they got us because it would have cost $105 to renew the double play, but $85 to get the triple play. Yes, they would have charged me $20 more to get the package without cable. So we got the triple play.

As for the phone, we have many reasons we keep it. First, our home security system is tied into our phone line. Second, we have young children and I want to make sure that they can call 911 and that a sitter can always call 911 or us in an emergency. And it was necessary. We had one sitter who forgot to charge her cell and forgot her charger. She did have to call us at one point at night and just used the house line to call (and tell me to call her on the house phone because she had forgotten to recharge her phone). Last, my wife teleworks 4 days per week. She has numerous meetings. Some of the speaker phones are really crappy out there. She says that she can hear others and others can hear her better from the landline than on her cell. All in all, well worth it to us to keep the landline.

$226. That's basic cable + all of the movie channels, 1 DVR, 1 box connected to DVR so we can watch the DVRd stuff in another room, and 1 basic box. Plus 50mb internet and our home phone (I priced it without the number and it is cheaper as the 'triple play.'

I wish I could cut it all, but sadly we are huge sports fans and they did not offer a package for just internet and phone with decent download speeds.
We're still tethered but paying less.

I have the same Comcast package. I want to cut the cord, but internet alone is $70. When you add in streaming you are about back to where you started.

Not really. My internet is the same, and I pay $35/month for DirectTVNow (streaming). It's still about $50 cheaper than my former $160/month cable bill.

We spend 59$ for wifi only - on Verizon, we use our own modem and router which they usually charge 10$ a month, we have our own. We have an antenna for a few local channels and a smart TV which we watch hulu, netflix, prime. Its the lower speed which we discovered was fast enough. We usually have an Xbox running (my son) and a computer or 2 and Netflix.

Its a scam and I'm done with them.

that's for FIOS, (50) plus HBO and Netflix (20) via Roku.

Fios internet only for $50? And it's not too slow for streaming?

$30 only internet. And Netflix and Amazon Orime. Plus a digital antenna ($30 one time).

Fios double play 100mb....60/month. Probably time to start shopping around though, I really want faster internet and Verizon is getting onboard the gigabit train now. No desire for any channels, we stream everything.

They offered it free for 12 months, so why not!

And it is VoIP.
