    How much are you all paying for cable and high speed internet and what packages? I want to see if I'm getting ripped off or can get some leverage for a better deal.

    $99.64 - cable (includes everything except HBO, Showtime, etc) plus very high speed cable modem for internet - I go through charter. I think the very high speed adds like 20 to 30 dollars to my bill.

    A total of around $160.00 a month. That is for extended digital cable (all the channels) in two rooms and high speed internet from Cox.

    Anyone here have Comcast? Did you call tech support within the past couple of weeks? If so, there's a chance you talked with me. :p

    After watching the news tonight, I'm scared of Comcast.

    $40 a month with crappy TV MAX.

    Stupid apartment complex and their alliance with crappy cable services.

    And stupid tree in my patio blocking my LoS for DirecTV or Voom!

    I have the same problem, though I have Grande Communications (the third owner of the cable system in the 2.5 years I've lived here), and it's terrible. And it's a chimney that blocks my only LOS for DirecTV. There's some thought I might could get DISH, though, but I don't want to call them out here if I don't know for sure.

    I don't understand why apartment complexes make deals with cable companies to provide inferior service to its residents. What's the thinking on that?

    26.95 for SBC Yahoo DSL
    42.99 (135 Channels including Local) + 5.99 (Directv Protection Plan) = 48.99.

    So total: $76/month.

    Then gotta get the NBA League Pass (get it early and it will cost $200+ w/ taxes).

    anyone trying Time Warner's new DigitalPhone yet?
    they keep calling to try and get us to sign up.

    It's $40 a month for local and unlimited long distance.

    i don't know about not being able to use the phone when the power goes out though. plus i wonder if it would affect your cable modem connection/speed when using both at the same time
