Good idea. Cancel cable for couple of months. Watch Netflix or Hulu or amazon prime on your tablet/laptop. Or better yet download the whole ton of shows and movies on your tablet. So you have stuff to watch without internet. Cancel internet for few months. You can buy kindle for like 49.99, or even cheaper, it holds tons of memory, you can download tons. When DH asks why there is no cable or no internet, tell him you have hard time paying it and it's now his turn.
