Has anyone given up cable or satellite TV for internet?

My D moved off campus this year & wanted to skip cable, figuring she could watch whatever she wants on the internet (which she picks up free from the school wireless …). She is trying to cut costs. Unfortunately, her roommate is a tv junkie. D told her okay, but just the basic package - if she wants more than that, she will have to pay the difference.

I am tired of paying so much for my landline - but we live in an area that experiences power outages frequently enough that I hesitate to rely on the cell phone only. I have a phone/DSL combo that is more expensive than the offers they have sent me in the mail - but I am told I can’t get the less expensive price because I already have service. I think it’s time to tell them I am cancelling due to cost … I’m told ATT will negotiate a better price if I do that.
