What are we getting? w/ my cable modem I pay about $120/mth. In the next mth I think I'm going to be dropping most of the "premium" channels. I think I just going to keep HBO.


Wow, I finally reached 500 msgs!

You're getting as much TV as you're willing to pay for. You're not getting internet service.

 

[RossMAN]

But what if I want internet service as well?

If I'm getting basic cable, local channels and HBO I'd say up to $50/mo

It's 55$/mo here for Basic Cable and Broadband Internet together.

Pay for it seperately, or, for the purposes of the poll, imagine that you do.

I'll pay what I can afford.

Currently we're at ~$55/mo for basic+local+Cinemax/Stars

The main reason for the TV is that my wife is home all day, everyday so she needs some entertainment while ill.

Then, I pay $55 for my Cable internet. 🙂

$40...can't see paying any more than that.

My limit for TV alone would be $50, but the cable company can probably screw me for way more by boiling me slowly to death with small price increases.

I always laugh when I get a notice of price "adjustments." Those adjustments always go in one direction . . .

 

[GroundZero]

i do quite nicely without any cable at all.
there isn't anything worth paying for on tv these days to start with.
rabbit ears all the way.

 

[XZeroII]

$10. There's no way that they can provide me with enough (quality) content to be worth any more.

 

[Koing]

I'd pay £15 for Sky Digital and £25 max for Internet access if there was a poll for that 😀

 

[Eli]

Oh, guess I really didn't answer the question..

They're offering a deal where you can get Basic Cable for 10$/mo, and if you already have Cable Internet, they take 10$ off your bill.. making it free! 😉

 

[slycat]

i'd jump on at $20
