No cable or satellite, but my phone bill is somewhere around $35-40/mo. I have no idea why it fluctuates between these two values, but it's low enough compared to most people I know that I don't question it.

Satellite: $125 (all the sports channels)
Internet: $47
Cell: $53 (2 cells, unlimited minutes, unlimited text, and 10GB of roll over data).

So, $225 all together. If it weren't for sports I would definitely ditch cable.

No cable/satellite for 3 years now.
Total wireless, 2 smart phones $55 a month unlimited text and talk. We were Leary at first but no complaints at all. Customer service not that great, it's all overseas people. Otherwise it's fine, no dropped calls and when we travel we have never lost service.

Cable: $ 187 a month (premium channels and high speed internet)
Cell: $ 72 a month Boost Mobile (unlimited talk, text and data - music streaming does not count as data used - fee includes insurance on iPhone 5s $7 a month)

Thanks to a smart TV purchase, I will be cutting the cable bill in half shortly, as I have found Netflix and Hulu and Vudu to cover my needs more efficiently, and much cheaper.
