I gave up the land line three years ago when I got broadband internet service and haven't had a telemarketer call since. With the landline and dial-up internet I was paying about eighty dollars a month. With broadband and cellular I'm paying about sixty-five dollars a month. I'd like to give up the cable TV but, as has been mentioned, I enjoy the History, Discovery, National Geographic Channels, PBS and the sports programs. The only time I ever tune into one of the major networks is when they have a game on.
