Cable TV
I have mentioned before that I am very frustrated with my cable provider since they changed to Broadstripe. The latest problem is a bill that was $30 higher than normal. I received a "courtesy call" explaining that they undercharged me during the transition. I would very much like to dump them. I looked closely at Verizon FIOS, but found there were so many variables in their offer that I would be paying a lot more than cable after the introductory discounts expired. I bought a digital converter and antenna for the spare room. It works great and I could live without cable. So now I'm looking at getting phone & internet only through Verizon, and Dish Network for TV. Should save at least $40/month.

So true. The so called "savings" for bundling seems to be more and advertising ploy that a fact in practice. Besides, my theory has always been if you pay only one provider for everything that just gives them carte blanche to raise prices whenever the choose.
