How much do you pay for TV and Internet package?

[GanChan]

Cable, satellite, broadband, dialup, whatever.

My Time Warner cable TV/broadband internet combo is over $100 a month!

I think I'm getting ripped off. But the only TV package below "Standard" is the one that has maybe 20 channels tops....

[thedude110]

Almost $120 a month for Charter (http://www.charter.com/) digital cable and cable internet connection.

Absolutely ridiculous considering how little there is on TV and how often the internet connection drops.

[3rdpath]

i spend about $120/month with Charter also.

This covers my DVR, all basic channels, pretty much every premium channel and my DSL. We've had really good service from them...but i have to renegotiate my package price every year. I just threaten to leave Charter and they drop the price about $20/month.

[eva01]

I think we pay possibly 40 a month for our TV and my mother's company pays for our internet

[cantthinkofone]

about $53 for directv. just about every channel. and $15 for internet.......56k....but really 26.4.....still waiting for this ISP to get wi-fi out here, going on 4 months of the "it will be ready in 4-8 weeks" :rolleyes:

[Abulia]

I think about $90 a month on DirecTV. That's HD, HBO, and DVR fee.

I play another $55 a month for Internet via Comcast.

[tonywalker23]

i pay about 75 for tv/cable internet.

69 plus tax/fees

it was going up to around 100 but i lost my job and called them and they gave me a deal that last until this summer

[vniow]

No TV but I'm paying around $10 per month for Comcash high speed. :D Split 3 ways of course...

[macEfan]

$0 for tv, dont have cable
DSL = $35... sometimes the network goes down :eek:

need to upgrade both packages, to some better ones.

[dogbone]

In australia I pay $69 a month for a lousy half a 512K connection because Telstra lied to me. I had a 6th month dialog with the telecommunications watchdog but it came to nothing in the end.

I had recently arrived back from the UK and there they refer to 'downloading' as when you download stuff to your desktop or whatever. Whereas in Australia when they say 'downloading' they mean *any* data transfer. ie viewing a webpage is 'downloading' even someone doing a portscan of your computer is termed 'downloading'.

So I bought a fixed mb package but then had to upgrade to unlimited when I found out. With TPG who I will change to when my contract is out, I can get a 1.5mbit connection for the same price.

[baby duck monge]

It's $55/month for basic cable and a cable modem for the internet through Comcast. They have some deal where you get $15/month off your internet bill if you get cable with it (and our cable is $10/month, so you do the math). I could definitely live without the TV, but I will not go without highspeed internet ever again!

[iRachel]

$102 for Charter high-speed internet and (non-digital) cable.
:mad:

[SamIchi]

Time Warner (standard cable, & RR) $96 this month.

[~Shard~]

$100 CAD per month for:

- land line
- unlimited long distance across Canada
- 3 Mbps DSL access
- 80 digital TV channels, VOD and 100+ digital audio channels
- home security system

and this summer we'll be getting upgraded to 20 Mbps and HD content over DSL... :cool:

[Stampyhead]

$50/month for basic cable and high speed internet from Cox.

[Les Kern]

TV: 40 bucks
Internet: Free. My job is paying for my 10MB wireless service. I have an antenna the size of a trash can lid on my roof... only it's a rectangle. Nyuk! Download is seldom slower than 3000kbps.

I am j-e-a-l-o-u-s!

[D0ct0rteeth]

$0

I put an element 45 antenna in my attic and it allows us to get all the HD channels free over the air. No cable bill. Totally legal.

We have about 3 wireless networks I can hop on at anytime from the neighbors. I just asked a few months back, and they said sure. It just cost me a case of beer.

Saves me about 120/month.

Nope, not at all - just saying that thanks to what I do, I'll be enjoying some fast Internet speeds myself in the neat future, and he won't be the only one... ;) :D

Come work for my SP like I do and I'll see if I can put you on our FTTH trial as well... :p ;) :cool:

[bursty]

$70 a month with Charter for 3meg internet and every channel available including HD. You other Charter customers are getting screwed :D

[mfacey]

DSL internet is 20 euros per month (about $16) for a 4MBit down/ 1Mbit up.
TV is 15 euros a month for cable split three ways so I end up paying 5 euros or about $4. :-)

You guys in the states get ripped off badly :D

[risc]

I'm in Australia and don't have cable TV, but I have 24Mb/1Mb internet which costs AUD$69 a month.

[gekko513]

$60 for a 2Mb Internet connection and the basic around 12 analog TV channels from UPC Norway.

Who's your provider?

[dogbone]

http://iinet.net.au/products/broadband/

I can't get ADSL2 :mad: but at least I can triple my speed for the same price and as a special bonus I can use their land line service and PI55 telstra off completely :)

[risc]

I can't get ADSL2 :mad: but at least I can triple my speed for the same price...

I've been with iiNet for years now (since the 512/128 days) and I have to say they are a great provider. You will be happy with them if you switch. :)

[raggedjimmi]

-£14.99 for 512kbps unlimited broadband with Pipex
-whatever the BBC TV licence costs!
-No more SkyTV, it really is b****cks.



Though, apparently a lot of Greater Manchester is being upgraded with 8mb connections. If you're internets going down a lot then it's a sure sign things are looking up. Especially when I've only got 512kb!

[rdowns]

Time Warner, digital cable, 1,473 HBOs, RR cable Internet - $87 a month. My condo has a bulk deal with them. I think this usually runs about $115 a month.

[iGary]

58 bucks a month for basic cable and 6mbps inkernet.

[~Shard~]

Who's your provider?

SaskTel. We've always been the leading Telecom Provider in Canada (Bell, Telus, etc. are always trying to catch up it seems!), we've been recognized internationally throughout the industry, and it's a company I'm proud to work for. :cool:

[Lyle]

About $80 a month for basic cable (around 70 channels?) and internet, from Knology (http://www.knology.com/).

[Chip NoVaMac]

I pay right now about $50 for both basic, basic cable (fewest channels possible) and HS internet.

[obeygiant]

119.43 with comcast


HD digital cable 'plus" with internet

[iSaint]

Nearly $100 for cable and internet. However, my wife's new employer is paying since she works out of the home. Schweeeet!!

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll have to wait for a while on that package, sounds good though, or just move...

[Kardashian]

$100? Thats GOOD! (£60ish?)

In the UK, heres our charges for our ''digital'' home:

£25 - Phone
£25 - Broadband/ADSL
£45 - Sky (Digital TV) (Exc. any Premier Sport or Movies)

= £95

Also, the ADSL is only 1Meg.. so y'no! :o

God, I wanna live in the USA... I'm 17... How old do I have to be to emmigrate? lol

[Kardashian]

Oh, and our Digital sub. isn't HD.. thats an extra £20 a month, with an additional £300 for the HD box... nice! :mad:

[mpw]

£71.94 (~US$128) per month + telephone call charges.

just 1Mbps and no HD, PVR, movies channels, sport channels etc. fairly basic package.

[~Shard~]

Yeah, we're an industry leader with our IPTV service offerings - we've had our service now for almost 4 years, whereas almost all other Telcos don't even have it up and running yet. ;) And when you bundle everything together (land line, LD, DSL, IPTV, cellular, home security) yuo save a lot of money... :cool:

[blackfox]

Zero.

Don't watch TV, so get along with terrestrial broadcast channels.

Get my internet free from my landlord. 3mbps.

Not a bad deal.

All my bills are included in my rent, so I only have a cell phone bill each month. This kinda makes me miss the old days when Voip services were just starting out and you could make phone calls through your computer for free<sigh>...

[floriflee]

We pay close to $70 total for our package (after taxes). We have the most basic of cable plans (around $14/mo) and the faster broadband (around $53/mo) since I need the extra bandwidth for work. Work pays for $50 of the ISP fee so it's not so bad. We only have cable because it was cheaper to have it with the Internet than to have Internet alone. Go figure. :rolleyes:

[SilentPanda]

-No more SkyTV, it really is b****cks.

Off topic but... I think it's funny that you "masked" bollocks... I think thats the first I've ever seen it. :D

Now on-topic.

I think I pay about $130 for internet, digital cable, HD, HBO, Starz, and Encore plus VOD for whatever HBO and Starz has.
