If I had that kind of bill I would be doing something also!!
I left the $100 phone bill, $90 cable tv/internet, for an Embarq package. 
$95 a month for everthing, DSL and phone, and Dish TV, after a year I can 
say much better than Mediacom.

Imra, I lived in the hills of TN for 19 years ... yep, there is a price .. 
of course I was a Dam Yankee for the whole time, but I learned how to fake 
being local:)). Some thought if you were not 10 generations, then you did 
not belong!!
