With football season coming to an end and our hockey team not doing so great for some good draft picks, DH is finally on board to cut our cable for a few months!
If you just have Internet, who is your provider and how much do you pay? ETA: what is your Internet speed, that you pay for. 
I've looked into this in the past and I know our savings won't be crazy because we have FIOS. We never ran cables in our house and don't plan to.

We only have one option and it's TWC.
We get plenty of football games on regular TV with bunny ears. We still watch ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and some secondary channels with out paying for them.

We use Time Warner Cable for our internet and pay about $50 per month. We have a computer connected to our tv and watch most things online, through either Netflix or Hulu Plus (we pay for both of these subscriptions). We got by for a long time without paying for subscriptions, but it is getting harder to watch the network channel stuff online without Hulu.

We have verizon and pay $80/month. But we pay for a netflix and hulu subscription for the Roku, so I don't know that it's a huge savings.

We have Comcast and pay $55 per month for their highest internet speed. We also pay for Netflix and have Amazon Prime. We also purchased an antenna and get a few channels to watch shows.

We have qwest/century link- and pay around $50 just for Internet. We've had them drop the price a few times by 5-$10 a month, but I habent had much luck finding other companies that are cheaper in the long run (they will be $30/mo with 24 month contract but will increase after 12 months)

@mediagirl: @Tanjowen: do you use a HD antenna? I've tried regular bunny ears in the past and can't pick up anything. Not even PBS! Thank god a lot of PBS shows are on Netflix!
We've got Netflix, Amazon Prime and the Wii hooked up so most TV viewing will be through that. 
it's the network shows I would love to get if possible!

There's only one option for our town for wired cable, Charter and it's $50/month.

@regberadaisy: we use bunny ears in one room and a digital antenna in another. Both get good reception.

We have a flat antenna and pay $0! We get the basic stations: NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, some public TV stations, CW. I think that's it, and it's enough. We also have Amazon Prime and streaming Netflix.

@regberadaisy: We bought an HD antenna and it works pretty well! I really only watch the news in the morning but I know we get ABC, NBC and TBS.
