I think if I tried to get rid of cable (well, satellite) and DSL service, my roommates would kick me out of the house.
Hey, think of all the money I'd save on rent! Hmm...
Okay, joking over, my share of the bill ($15/month and $7/month) is small enough for what I get in return that I don't begrudge the money. Staying in touch and informed on the internet and TV's news, cartoons, documentaries, clear broadcast channels are worth it in my budget.
