I don't pay much for my landline as it's bundled w/ TV and internet via AT&T U-Verse. Part of the reason I keep it is because I am home a lot and like having a cell phone but don't want to have to fork out a lot for a ridiculous plan, and as it is I don't (and don't have a smart phone - ditched that months ago).

It'd be tempting to tone down the TV...right now, I get premium channels really for the occasional movies on their On Demand channels and for 1 whopping show: Dexter. Having said that, I had some other plan before where I was getting more channels and honestly don't think I ever watched a single one of them, so downgraded that.

One thing I'd advise everyone to do periodically, especially if you get a bundle of services through someone, is call them. I have never NOT gotten additional discounts when I've called AT&T up to make changes to my account. Even if they're just discounts for only a 6 month period or something, it's better than nothing. The last time, I had quadrupled my net speed and was going to downgrade my premiums but they talked me into keeping it w/ a discount, and I was actually paying $5 LESS per month after the call with only UPGRADES for 6 months, then $5 more per month after. The net upgrade was like $15/mo above what I had before...if I had done it online like I was going to originally, that's what I'd have been paying more for it.
