Nice!

I had DirecTV and Vonage (phone). That was $150 + $38 = $188 / month.

Switched to PS Vue for $35 / month and magicJack for $35 / year (breaks down to $2.92 / month).

So I went from $188 / month to $38 / month. That's my $150 / month savings!

I had to pay for internet either way, so that's a wash.

We went with very basic cable (almost nothing but network TV), Amazon Prime (I don't count this since we get it anyway for free shipping), and Netflix. We still do get internet from Cox, but the bill went from $180 to $70. Add the Netflix and it is about $100 per month.

Yeah, I have subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu & Amazon Prime. I didn't count those in the costs/savings because I had them prior to cutting the cord. Same with my internet service.
