We have Time Warner and live in NY. Our bill is about $175 but that is for 4 cable boxes and our telephone and high speed internet service.

HOW???
I also have Time Warner (in nyc) for internet, cable and phone but only one cable box. The only additional channels we pay for are HBO and HD. Our bill''s about 150 a month.

Are you getting some kind of special?

I don''t

We have 6 main channels: 2, 4, 6, 7, 33, and 39. And then some random Spanish channels and one channel that only plays cartoons/kid shows (qubo I think its called). No cable in our home so I''m not hip with the new shows out there

We also pay $0.00 a month... We get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, MY45 (I''m not sure of their affiliation), Create, THIS, and about 3 spanish channels including MTVtres.


We do pay around $18/month for Blockbuster''s netflix.

I''m in this boat too! We randomly get the Discovery Channel which is awesome, but other than that, I can''t bring myself to pay any amount for tv until after our wedding! Plus Fi''s restaurant has cable so if I was desperate for HDTV I could head over there when the restaurant''s closed...or take the cable box for an evening

0$ for us too - we have a 13 year old TV and 2 fuzzy channels (with the benefit of bunny ears!)

$90 Att Uverse includes High speed internet, DVR, Hi def, and cable (no premium channels).

Interesting to see the price variations.

I''d love to be part of the ''I hate Comcast'' club. They ''accidentally'' deleted my primary email acct when I moved... and it took over a week to get straightened out (I was uber PO''d because I was afraid I''d lose all my contacts, mortgage documents, etc).

But around here (Philly), I don''t seem to have much of a choice for both cable & internet... I''ve priced out a bunch of companies, and although Comcast sucks - service wise - they seem to have the best price.

We pay $120/mo for cable w/HD, ALL the premium channels, and internet. My husband calls them regularly to haggle the bill down. They probably have a ''PITA customer'' note on our account...

I was talking with a girl from work, and she is ''renting'' her modem from comcast for $6/month. We bought ours from Best Buy for $20. You gotta watch out for all those little charges... they really add up!

I''ve got Comcast, it runs us like $150 a month. We get HD, internet, landline phone and upgraded to HBO too. I''m thinking of cutting down though or getting rid of it altogether, it''s getting ridiculously expensive. I like going online to shop and do forums and whatnot, but I rarely watch tv at all.

We have Cablevision (thanks for a month without Food Network and HGTV btw) and our bill is around 160isj. We have DVR and HD, phone, and internet.

Most of my family in Birmingham switched to U-Verse. I hear it''s awesome. I think my parents pay the same thing we pay and they have 4 boxes, HD, and DVR.

I feel like I''m getting ripped off now see what everyone else is getting

 

[sctsbride09]

Zero. The only time our tv gets used is for DVDs.

I don''t have HBO or HD and I signed up for the $14.99 telephone special for a year. Our bill should go up in a few months, but I honestly don''t know how much regular cable telephone service is.

Yes, for everything! We also have several Showtime channels and TMC. That is before taxes. After tax it is $73. I was going to shop around to see if I could get a better deal, but I'm starting to think that this is pretty good
