What do you pay for TV, internet and phone?

That is too broad of a question. If I said $179/month, what would
that tell you? If someone else said $59/month, what would that tell
you?

Am I getting ripped off? Are they getting a great deal?

Don't you really need to know what we are paying and what services we
are getting for that money?

No, If you don't get all three on one bill, then break it down to per
service please.
I pay $200.00 for HD TV and 200 channels [I think, it might be more],
fiber optic access internet, and one landline #. The cell bill is
sepparate...two #'s. My upload speed is 84.3 MBps, download spee is
86.13 MBps.

Do you think #200.00 is about right, or too expensive for HD TV,fiber
optic internet, and one landline?

BTW...that includes the server, the DVR, and three boxes.


That's better.

If I add my land line, I'm putting out the same.

But I have a DVR, an HD box, and three boxes non-HD and get HBO, Starz
and Encore.

Also retired, use services a lot.


I USED to get all those pay extra services [except HBO] but got tired of
paying $225.00 a month, so I cut out the no omercial channels and
dropped My bill to $200.00. After going without the no commercial
channels for a month, the extra $25.00 for no commercials is more
better. I'll prolly see about a new contract and get those channels back
and pay less for one year then drop that service and go with "DISH". I
just got a flyer in My snail mail from "DISH" for $49.00.
I sure miss the days of analog TV and antennas to get channel 2,4,5,7,
9,11 and 13 and not pay a dime for TV.


Any commercial channels, I do what Ralph suggests and DVR any shows I
like and fast forward through commercials.

Wife does not have DRV but watches mostly old movies with few commercials.

I get these low ball offers all the time, mainly from FIOS, when they
expire, the cost is just as high. I could do like my neighbor across
the street and switch every two years but, mainly my wife, would not
like the aggravation of doing it.
