With the most basic of TV service, taxes, fees, etc. my total bill comes to about $116.81/mo. If I punted the TV service, my savings would be about $4/mo. I don't bother with TV service because to get the one channel I want, the required pre-reqs and equipment would double my bill.
Regarding Verizon, I'd love to have FiOS, but they won't deploy in Boston without major tax breaks, which Boston refuses to offer. FiOS is great if it's available, but it's not in most markets. There aren't many other options in the continental US where you can get 100Mbps service for ~$100/mo if FiOS is unavailable (and for most of the US, that's the case).
