I didn't ditch the landline, but I have bare bones service for it ONLY in case of a 911 emergency (with cellphones they can't pinpoint you without asking you yet). As for cable tv, I'm too addicted to Doctor Who and Torchwood to give that up (takes far too long to hit DVD Vs broadcast for these shows), plus adult swim Bleach watching (I gave up on Code Geass some while ago xD).

It's so much better and cheaper for overseas calls. I suppose Skype is an option for that, but the quality isn't as good and those 10-10 numbers give great rates. If I had a little extra money, I would consider a land line. I'm trying to cut back on TV actually, the main reason a lot of it being the mindless flipping that you're talking about. I still watch certain things (just watched a new episode of House and when football season is here, I need it!) so I won't be giving it up soon.

My parents still can't give up cable tv, and I only use my own tv for cable on Wednesday nights when new South Park and Lost airs. With Lost ending soon, season wise, and South Park being on break I'll be watching no TV until next fall or so. I'm pretty sure I won't be having cable once I move out. Lost will be over by then, and I can catch South Park online for free. Then, of course, I'll be wanting to watch and catch up on anime and video games. I still need to catch up on One Piece, and I need try Fall Out 3...Yeah I have no XBox...The newest consoles I have are PS2 and a DS Light.

Much like you've said, cellphones have evolved enough to warrant not having a land-line. As for tv, high-speed Internet has really made this an unnecessary luxury. Between services like Hulu and all the major tv stations' streaming services, having cable is all but pointless. Ain't the future grand?
