We cut the landline cord about eight years ago now, also got rid of DirecTV ($130 a month, cable, with a couple of premium movie channels) as well as two pricey (for the time, anyway) smartphones w/internet service. We went with CenturyLink internet ($45 a month), ditched the high-priced phone service opting for two basic phones that did only what phones have always been designed to do; make and receive phone calls. I installed an outside TV antenna (drew quite a crowd when installing it; the older people knew what it was but the younger folks had no idea) and got broadcast stations from about a 50-mile radius with crystal clarity; with the weather being right I could sometimes get stations over 100 miles away. With Apple TV (free after buying the hardware) and Amazon Prime, along with the broadcast stations I was getting all the TV I wanted for something like $11.00 a month. Our total savings was over $200 a month.
It continues in TV, with the only difference being the price of the internet service ($104.00 per month but lightning-quick).
It is amazing how much a person can pay for what they don't actually need.
