We buy internet from our local Cable TV provider over fiber optics and we get 5gb speeds. We do NOT pay for any TV package, because it would add minimum $30/month, and we’re very happy with our internet w/o TV. They do call from time to time to try to sell us the TV package, and we don’t buy. We’re just the weird ones, I suppose.

You can buy the internet without the TV package. Just be an ass about it and they’ll eventually relent.

I know but its still pricey. Like $70 per month for Internet only service. I wonder if I can find a way to cut that down to $30 to $40 per month. Comcast.

Similar here. I have Verizon FiOS. I am paying ~$125/mo for internet, land line, and mobile. They send me lots of mail pushing their TV, but my TVs all stopped working after the demise of analog TV broadcasting. I'm thinking of canning the land line and upgrading to Verizon's top internet service.
