24. I just have cell phone and cable Internet
Haven't had a land line in years, same with cable/satellite TV. My cell phone can do everything for me that a landline phone used to--and then some. And what use do I have for paying Faux Noise and the Golf Channel? Getting rid of subscription-TV was one of the greatest moves of my life.

I can watch just about anything I need to watch directly from the Internet. C-SPAN, for example...and today I downloaded a neat little utility (for free)...there are already hundreds of web channels to choose from, and you can add more.

I admit, some of the channels are rather dull...but you'll inevitably find something interesting, and it sure beats the cost of cable TV!
