I'm hated by many, but loved by none.

Some of this may depend on what wireless phone service you and your family use.
But (for example) if you are on ATT, and the ISP offering in your area is U-Verse, it could replace your cable TV, ISP, even phone and link to your wireless phone account. It's fiber-optic based (in some cases it is fiber to the house, in other cases it is copper over the last jump).
For example, I dropped Dish Network and Comcast for U-Verse and got television and Internet for about what one was costing me.
That's just one example, but if you know what services your family uses, you can do some research and present it to your mom as a way to not only save money, but improve service.
Thanks, Recon.
Also, the reason why we don't have Fios is because they say we're too far away from the Verizon center to get it installed. The internet we currently have is put under so much strain because there's 6 wireless devices in this household, so something stronger and faster would be nice. I'm leaning on asking her to get Comcast or TimeWarner.
