Just about eight years for my family. We have saved about $9600 considering the bill we had in 2010. We still pay $50/month for high speed internet, but it is higher speed and uncapped. We also have a DVR on every television in the house, access from outside the home, and an on-demand library of stuff we actually want to watch. A couple years ago, I closely replicated the service I have using a Comcast 'skinny' offering and it came to $192/month. Using that number, the savings comes to $13,632. Even after discounting that by the cost of hardware, software, and services, the savings is more than $9,000. When we watch football on Sundays, the beers on Comcast.

The bottom line is that this is one more expense I have control of heading into retirement.
