How much are you paying for cable, phone and internet?

[graywarrior]

I have all three with Time Warner and my bill is $150 per month. They tell me it would cost more if I dropped the digital. WTF?

[crispini]

1. No cable.

But phone, DSL internet, and cell phone are costing me $120 a month. It would be WAY cheaper if I dropped the cell phone, but that's not going to happen. :D

[graywarrior]

2. Hell, if I add my cell phone into that, it costs me $200 per month

[BulletproofLandshark]

3. $120/mo.

Digital cable,land line, DSL.

[Lyric]

4. Zero, zero, and zero.

No cable or TV service, no landline phone, and our internet is the university's free wi-fi. :)

[sammythecat]

10. It's in the tuition somewhere.

Ain' nuthin' free.

[DarkTirade]

5. 60 a month.

40 for cable internet (which I use to watch whatever small amounts of TV I feel the need to watch) and another 20 for Vonage internet phone.

[KG]

6. cell + roadrunner internet under 100 bucks

no land line, no cable TV.

[grasswire]

7. Qwest bundle -- about 150

landline with unlimited long distance
DSL
DirectTV

[graywarrior]

8. How do you like DirectTV?

[grasswire]

33. fine!

We have a medium package that doesn't include HBO or Starz or those platinum movie channels, but it does have BBCA, LINK and Al Gore's Current and plenty of all the other stuff. RFD cracked me up when I first saw it. Cattle auctions! Polka parties! Of course, more movie channels are available for more moolah.

[graywarrior]

34. Polka parties! ! ! ! Now that's worth $150 per month right there!

[MorningGlow]

37. Big Joe Polka Show ROCKS!

We watch it all the time.
:rofl:

[graywarrior]

41. Hahahaha, I just looked it up on youtube,

You are hilarious.

[grasswire]

42. I've been to too many parties like that...

...when visiting family in Montana. Lord almighty. I know it's wrong to laugh at the oldsters in their getups, but it's just so......I remember one St. Patrick's Day at the Elks Club in Butte. Whew!

[BeachBaby]

45. I LOVE that show!

Prolly 'cuz I'm Polish, but still! :)

[sammythecat]

9. $110

$40 each for cable tv & cable internet and around $30 for basic land line phone. Plus I pay yearly rent (property taxes) on a home I've "owned" for almost 20 years.

When you add everything up it's pretty damn expensive just to sit and exist on this goddamn planet. x( All the little babies don't know it yet, but they better get themselves prepared to fuckin' produce!

[Wcross]

11. 200 dollars a month.

The only option for me for broadband Internet is "Wild blue" satellite service at 80 dollars a month. My dial up was running at 21kbps so I have no other choice. Direct TV with HD dvr at 75 bucks a month, land line & cell phone eat up the rest.

[raouldukelives]

12. No cable so..

Phone-Net bill about $35.

[MichiganVote]

13. Too damn much.

[graywarrior]

14. Between that and gas and heating oil, I'm thinking of going underground

[MichiganVote]

17. Yup. We're going for the empty strip mall look real soon here.

[graywarrior]

19. I live on lentil soup so I can watch crap tv

Go figure and drive to the supermarket to buy lentils.

[MichiganVote]

22. Yeah...they want the jobs overseas. Fine. They want to lower wages. Fine.

They want to strip away benefits. Fine.

But that fun economy where we spend like crazy. Going, going, gone. Can't buy all the cheap goods on good intentions and people are out of credit. So, corporations are buying their own grave globally.

And you know....I'm not going to miss it. And we're not even the really big spenders.

[graywarrior]

24. Hey when cell phone companies can get rid of you when you complain too much

that means something.

[MichiganVote]

25. They're all to fat on the credit they've been getting.

[graywarrior]

28. Credit as in credit card credit?

Hell yeah.

[MichiganVote]

43. Any kind.

[GOPisEvil]

15. I went from basic/internet to digital/internet/phone and pay $8 more.

The cable companies are offering big package deals nowadays. Of course I have a contract now, but it's $150 to terminate that prorates, so it's not that big of a deal. When this contract expires, I'll get a similar deal from another company. I'm treating these services like cell phone service.

Edited to say that I pay $99 + taxes and fees. Or about $115 total.

[graywarrior]

16. We have only one cable choice up here

otherwise I'd do the same

[GOPisEvil]

18. AT&T is rolling out U-verse here.

I figure Time Warner gave me the deal because U-verse is about to roll out in my area. In two years, I'll see if U-verse is cheaper and/or better and switch. Or, cut myself a good deal to stay with Time Warner.

[graywarrior]

20. In FL I had a choice between Comcast and Verison Fios.

Costs were about the same. Also a lot of rentals included cable. Here in NH we pay for everything. So much for Live Free or Die.

[hobbit709]

21. Counting everything, about $140/mo

But that's for DSL, regular phone, VOIP phone with unlimited long distance, and DirecTV.

[bicentennial_baby]

23. For digital cable and DSL....

Er...$170/month.

That's with a premium package and NFL Network and TV5 from France.

I have no shame.

We have no landline, just our cellphones.

:yoiks:

[graywarrior]

29. Holy crap!

I'd have to sell drugs to afford that.

[mainegreen]

26. All 3 with Time Warner: $120 a month. nt

[graywarrior]

30. Why are you paying less than I am?

I live next door, fer cryin out loud!

[Madrone]

27. $20/month

Not counting cell or VOIP. To be fair, if/when I turn my landline back on I'll be paying more like $30/month.

$10/month = landline with ALL features (3-way, call waiting, call-id, voicemail, ect, etc)

$0/month - 8Mb/1.5Mb DSL

$20/month - digital cable with ALL movie channels and two set top boxes.

[graywarrior]

31. Are you sharing costs?

[Madrone]

35. Nope.

I work for the company! :)

[SacredCow]

51. Ok, so the question is....

How much would a NON employee pay for the same services?

[Madrone]

56. Well....

About $20ish for a basic landline, around $77 for digital cable with all movie channels and an extra set-top box, and they can't HAVE my internet speeds, but DSL is (at the moment, going to be price restructuring very soon and rates are going to go down by around $10) $44.95.

[crimsonblue]

32. hmm...

we pay $125 for television and internet (not bundled). I am still on my parent's phone plan ( :D ) and I don't know how much my fiancée's phone bill is.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. A lot. And I sometimes think about doing something about it.

And then I get tired.

[DS1]

38. about 70 for internet and unlimited voice

via comcast

no tv at all

[MorningGlow]

39. Way too much

$70-something for DirecTV
$90-something for phone and internet
$36 for cell phone (ancient grandfathered-in contract)
$0 for Mr. MG's phone (work pays)

$196! Day-um, added up like that, it pisses me off!
:rofl:

[Mutley]

40. $60 for my cable/internet package.

$39 for my cell phone which is under a different company.




edit: I don't have a landline -- only my cell.

[erinlough]

44. 175 from Comcast

but I must add, before I paid $58.00 for cable via dish network, local phone $60-$70, and internet over the land line at $14.00 but I only got 28,000 (tops) on dial-up and a rural phone that worked 50% of the time. The only thing on this I wouldn't give up is the internet service and it is $44.00, but only if I have all three. All in all, I'm happy with the package.

[Ewellian]

46. $88

phone $30
cable $58
roadrunner internet free (paid for by the company I work for...I telecommute full time)

[mwooldri]

47. Too much. $225.

Road Runner: $45
Digital Cable TV: $65
Lingo VOIP phone: $30
Sprint Cellphone x 2 : $65
Extra packages for Roadrunner & Sprint: $20
$225 a month for cell phones, internet, tv and "regular" phone.

Mark.

[applegrove]

48. $150

[bikebloke]

49. $58

$25 for land line phone.
$33 for cable internet (I just switched from DSL, which cost $54).

[huskerlaw]

50. $275

Approximately $75 for AT&T cell phone service...it's the $45 plan, but once you tack on all the fucking fees, it's more like $75.

About $200 for internet and cable. However, that includes digital cable (about 300 channels), HBO, Showtime, 2 DVR boxes and 2 modems.

On edit: I don't have a land line phone.

[DeepBlueC]

60. eek. more than $300

$190.for cable (DVR, movie channels, digital channels), $75.00 phone, $70 internet. I live in Canada. Everything is too much here. I could do a bit better, but it's not worth the hassle of switching.

[CottonBear]

52. Zero, zero and zero!

I use the internet at work and I have a cell phone.

[mike_c]

53. $75/month-- but I don't subscribe to television channels....

I don't waste my beautiful mind on teevee (just DUing, LOL). My cable internet is $49.95 and my VOIP phone service is $24.95 (+ a couple of dollars in various surcharges, comes to about $28, but no long distance, unlimited use, etc).

[Fox Mulder]

54. $97 for internet/cable.

And it's just basic cable. x(

High speed internet though. :)

[Coyote_Bandit]

55. Ummmm

Cable & internet about $135
Cell phone about $35
Land line about $45

Total about $215

I could ditch the landline and up the cell minutes but that would only save me about $10 per month - which I would have to apply to an additional cell for the monitored alarm. Not sure I would save any money and definitely not worth the hassle right now.

Hope to move in the next year or two. Landline is history then. As is the monitored alarm. And HBO.

[Juche]

57. Cheap

Where I used to live the landline was $15, DSL was $15 and DirecTV was about $40. Cell phone is a prepaid and about $7/month.

[Haole Girl]

58. No phone (just cell phones). Cable & internet $140. per month with...

AT&T U-Verse.

[Breeze54]

59. $0.00; $40.00; $9.95

[graywarrior]

61. After reading all these posts, I've come to the conclusion that we are all crazy

[Broken_Hero]

62. 92 bucks a month, nt
