Last year I gave up my cable based “bundle” of cable phone, TV and internet. I bought an HDTV, a $20 antenna, and internet access. My work pays for my cell phone. I sometimes wish I had a landline, but I get along with out it just fine. I went from paying $170 a month to paying less than $80 (Internet plus HBO Now).
I continued an Amazon Prime membership. There are plenty of TV shows and movies on Amazon and Youtube (I just finished a 7 hour long British TV series on youtube. FREE).
Many people get Netflix. I have not done that yet. Online TV services are getting better. I might get one eventually. I refuse to pay for liberal channels like ESPN, however.
There are lots of options out there.

We also do TV with an antenna. Business line is by regular telephone through Vonage-runs through computer. Pay $12/month which includes all long distance calls. Works great. Hate talking on a cell phone and so we use cell only in case of emergency.
