I'm just curious what people here pay for cable. Bills are fucking me over and I'm considering downgrading my cable to basic as possible, but 2mb internet with "basic" cable (~20 channels) is the most basic package they have, and after tax it's a bit over 70 bucks or so, and that sounds fuckin bullshit to me, but I dunno. Right now I have 3mb internet and "basic extended" cable and in a month, and after the initial deal runs out it'll be around a 100 bucks or month. Fuck that. I'm going to miss Comedy Central, tho. I better learn how to use bittorent...

oh and btw, it's the only cable service in this area....Charter Cable in Madison WI. I hate these fucking cable monopolies.

i get basic for $40, then another $40 for broadband every month from Comcast. Im thinking of dumping the cable and getting a bootleg box from my brother.

 

[Minotauro]

I pay around $140 a month. This includes every channel you can imagine (including HD), digital phone service, and broadband internet.

 

[Vicious]

$50/month for digital cable with the HBO package, plus $40/month for roadrunner.

 

[Manabanana]

I was just about to propose the idea of pay-per-channel cable. I'd buy that. The more channels you bought, the less expensive they got. I'd only need a few. Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, HBO, IFC, Sci-fi...

I pay about $60 for cable, HBO and broadband from Comcast, but that's a package through my apartment complex.

 

[heavy liquid]

Nothing. I don't watch enough tv or have enough time to watch tv to justify paying $50-70 per month for it. I'd rather be reading a book or playing a video game.

EDIT: I pay about $40/month for cable internet, though. Gotta have that.

 

[EdLuva]

Free basic for me.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Something like $10000 a year.

 

[SSGMUN10000]

I pay $0 for every channel and internet. Just thought I would brag about that . Anyway what cable provider is in your area?

 

[Xenon]

If you threaten to quit because it cost too much and say your going to the dish they will make you an offer to stay. I got my extended basic w/ 2 HD boxes down to 30 bucks a month =D

[borghe]

* it should be noted though with satellite that is a full subscription (all movie and regional sports channels), two boxes, and the hi-def package that gets me ESPNHD, HDNet/Movies, DiscoveryHD, UniversalHD, etc.

Some things are not worth paying for.

I read this thread last night and decided to try it out while I was at the Comcast office to pay my bill (About $80 a month for internet and basic cable). They literally threw a cable box at me and signed me up for digital + internet at $56.99 a month for 6 months :lol
