The big companies as I've said before all want us to spend $300 dollars a month between our cable, internet and cell phone.

$60 dollar unlimited postpaid + $40 dollar Samsung/Apple EIP.
$200 dollar triple play cable/internet/phone with five movie channels.

If you can't afford that price point as a little sister of the poor they'll still take your money at a $210 per month for economy services.

$40 dollar 5GB prepaid + $10 dollar economy phone.
$150 dollar double play cable/internet with 60 total channels.

But its possible to do better on both the price and the content especially if you are willing to sink some money into the equipment.

$40 AT&T prepaid (16GB) with international calling+ BYOD
$35 AT&T unlimited data for internet +BYOD
$25 Logic stream TV package w/ movie channels/PPV/ESPN+

For as little as $90 a month it is possible to have top shelf content and service and save yourself thousands a year.
