[iwantanewcomputer]

getting my own place and basic internet/cable from time warner is 90 bucks a month...i thought it would be like 20 for each...what a scam

edit:i dont watch tv but 1 or 2 football games a week and dont care how slow my porn downloads.

Use to pay $74/month for Comcast Basic Cable + 8Mbps Internet.

Atlanta Area.

TW fka Comcast cable + intarweb = $113/mo

i think cable should be $50 and internet $20.

Verizon 768K DSL --> Philadeplhia area

The DSL is reliable as hell, the price is good and 768K is plenty to make my basic surfing and occasional online game or large download smooth.

$19 for basic cable. $13 for 1.5MB DSL.

$60 a month for 3 Mb down and 384 KB up (you never get those speeds though), plus basic cable (about 25 channels).

thats what im talking about...what service provider?

 

[Baked]

Comcast for cable. AT&T for DSL.

I pay $82 after all fees and taxes for basic cable TV + 6mbit down/1mbit up internet access
I would probably pay about $60 if I went with 768kbit/128kbit internet access and basic cable TV, but I HATE slow downloads and uploads. I downloaded a battlefield 2 mod that was over 1GB and it took less than an hour. It would piss me off if things like that took 2 or 3 days to download.

I would gladly pay more if they offered a faster service. That being said, I would probably wind up violating the TOC with running a Vent server and/or a BF2 server. Lots of bandwidth is also very nice for lans.

$45 for basic cable internet, 2.6 mbit.

Should cost under $30, but there's only one cable internet company around here.

EDIT: crap, just looked at Yahoo DSL - looks like $30 for 6mbit down...

 

[DrPizza]

unavailable here... I'd gladly pay $100 per month for 2 years, then a reasonable amount after that for cable + cable internet.

 

[Kelemvor]

Time Warner is about 45 for internet and 45 for TV. But you can sometimes get a special or soemthing for 35 for internet but rarely any deal on TV. But if you have internet you get T for free too. If they don't put on the filter at the cable box or if it somehow comes off...

 

[Kwaipie]

$120 a month for HD cable, HD recorder, no premium channels. 12Mbit cable internet.

 

[woodie1]

No cable here, no dsl here either.

 

[ghost recon88]

Comcasts basic cheapest cable is $60 a month, without T.V. No DSL here yet though

 

[mugs]

I think we pay $80-90 for basic cable + 7 Mbit cable modem.

I think that price is reasonable for what we get, but I wish they had a la carte pricing on the basic cable, because we watch less than 10 channels.

 

[PottedMeat]

No cable providers here at all, AT&T DSL 1.5/256 $12.99/mo - Dish $34.99 I think

time warner and comcast are both expensive, they both also had some deal where they bought out adelphia, hopefully they wont buy out cox

I pay $90 for Digital cable, HD-DVR, HBO, starz, cinemax, cable internet and a landline phone.

 

[linkgoron]

a bit under 7$ for 1.5Mb, I am thinking of moving to a bit under 10$ for 2.5Mb though.
