Changing services depends a lot on what is available in your part of the country. I got rid of DirecTV because their service became horrible and their prices way too high. I am very happy with our cable service, which also carries our internet. I do not have a "land line" phone at my house. I have a cell phone, Verizon is best in our area, and it goes everywhere with me. I can make and receive calls wherever I go and DH and I each have our own number and can talk for free when either of us is out and about without the other.
This is nothing like the old days when Ma Bell and 3 networks controlled communications. Do your homework because there is a lot to learn about each system, and they all work differently in Ohio than they do in California.
