I just have internet. No land line phone either. DSL thru verizon. Not the fastest but it's only 20/month.

I keep bare minimum satelitte (Dish Network, $24 a month) just so I can order PPV fights. Other than that we watch everything off Roku.

No internets no cables just smart phones for the win

Family will be in town for the holidays.

January 1, cable will be turned off.

We almost never watch TV and I'm tired of paying a bill for something I don't use.

I switched to the base package of DirectTV....primarily for NFL Sunday ticket.

I don't watch much TV but this package is reasonably priced...I get all the football I want....and access to the handful of channels I enjoy when I do watch TV.

The problem with all these companies moving towards the internet is the internet providers ripping people off and capping us. Hear about people stream all their vids and shows, but that shit adds up quick and even quicker if its HD.

Someone is gonna have to step in and fuck over the web providers.

Im gonna go postal if cloud gaming actually takes off.

Yeah, Comcast has a 150 Gig Cap per month. When I had Verizon Fios I was not aware of a monthly cap.

But I agree that shit is stupid...Same thing with the Cell Phone caps they have now.

Why so against cloud storage for gaming?

I've already given in to Steam. I want to "own" my shit. Not do something that they dont like and then some company has the right to take away "my" property. We all might as well go rent an ipad for 72 months @ $20 a month.

I'm surprised M$ doesnt stop "selling" xbox's and start "renting" them out. The sad thing is people would allow it.

Steam is annoying. Even a completely offline game like Skyrim requires me to log in and look at their ads to play my game.
