The cost of the cell phone thread noted that there are several of us that only have cell phones. This made me wonder how many people have particular combinations of home services such as cable, internet, home phone, and similar.

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone
You can go out, you can take a ride/And when you get out on your own/You get all smoothed out inside/And it's good to be alone

I'm surprised to see I'm not the only one without a cell phone! We are definitely in the minority. I don't even like talking on the phone. Our home phone bill is never more than $35-40 a month.

Oh yeah, our land line is just the basic phone. No caller ID, call waiting or anything.
Qwest was certainly surprised that there was someone out there that did not want all the bells and whistles and they did their best to sell us on everything.
However, just the basic phone line is around $20/month.

Land line (hardly ever used), cell phone for Mrs. Bubba, work-provided CrackBerry for me, DSL for the home computer, regular cable (which we'll probably switch to digital now that the costs are roughly the same).
I found you a new motto from a sign hanging on their wall…"Drink coffee: do stupid things faster and with more energy"
We have a cable package that provides internet, phone(local and long distance), and cable ( no movie channels.) $153.
