We've been thinking of cancelling tw and going to Netflix, hulu plus or this new amazon prime. All of the reviews say that Netflix is the best. Anyone have experience with any of these?

I did that awhile ago, and haven't looked back since. Netflix is very good for movies, and Hulu+ has more in the way of television shows. Hulu also does have commercials, however nowhere near as long as regular TV. I have both and won't go back to cable TV. If you're going in that direction I'd look into Roku. http://www.roku.com/. It's the device that you hook up to your tv to stream from. You have a huge selection of things to watch with Roku. I opted for a smart tv. I stream from my wireless router to the tv.
As far as I'm concerned, cable tv is a wasteland, not worth what they charge at all. Tw gets very little of my money, as my broadband is from a separate ISP (about $10 less thant TW charges for their broadband), who only rents the transmission lines. TW just sends me the bill. The only drawback to this is if you like to follow the local (Yankees, Mets) baseball teams you can only watch the games on antenna tv once or twice a week.
For me the change made all the sense in the world, and my monthly bill dropped $80. HTH

We are leaning toward Roku and Netflix. We have expanded cable and wifi internet for $118/month.(it was $98 last year) I called tw and asked how much my bill would be if I dropped cable. They said $60. Hell, we could get a data package for our ipads for $30/month. My cell phone bill is $108/month with Verizon. I'm going to cancel that and go with Straight talk or one of those no contract deals. I have more research to do on those tho.

Groupon Unveils Their Answer To Amazon's Drone Delivery
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
Bentonville, AR — Walmart today announced plans to install mini surface-to-air missile batteries on the rooftops of all 4,786 store locations across the United States. The missiles will exclusively target Amazon Prime Air drones.
The new concept called Walmart Megatron is the latest effort to drive customers back to retail locations. While Walmart’s growth has remained steady, it has been unable to keep pace with online retailers such as Amazon.
The Megatron missiles will be miniaturized surface to air missile based on the RIM-174 Standard ERAM. The missiles are 7 inches long and in testing showed the capability to target an Amazon drone up to 10 miles away. The missile batteries are equipped with special camera equipment calibrated to search for the Amazon arrow on the side of the Prime Air drones and fire automatically.
“We have seen 99.9% success rate in taking down test drones,” Simmons tells us. “The only problem we had was a local kid who picked an Amazon box up above his head in excitement. The system mistook it for a drone and blew the kid’s new Playstation 4 into small pieces. Good thing we offer Playstation and all other game consoles at an every day low price.”
