Fun With Bills

So, right now, I'm paying about $150/mo for my Internet, TV, and phone
service from verizon (split about $42, $54, $42 respectively, plus taxes and
fees). I got the phone line figuring I'd get a fax machine. I didn't.
(All my actual phone needs are satisfied by my cell.) I got the TV service
figuring, with a DVR, I'd watch more shows. I don't. The only thing I do
use is the Internet, which is roughly 1/3 of my bill. So, I need to just
end my other services. I think there's going to be an early termination
fee, but if it's less than $100/mo then I come out ahead in the long run.
Getting just Internet would cost me about $58/mo, less than half what i'm
paying. (Getting Internet and phone service drops the Internet price by $5,
but phone service is at least $30; net gain of $25 for a service I won't
use.)
I just need to buckle down and actually call them to change my service; I
keep putting it off, and I'm losing $90/mo for it.
