OT: How much you folks paying for internet/tv?

[JC]

KIBU — thanks. Spoke with Cox today and they informed me I am on some promotional rate. Takes internet only access down from 40s to 30s per month until March. Told me (very nicely) to go pound sand on a deal after that even after I indicated that I would definitely go to ATT. Their argument was that ATT DSL will have taxes that Cox does not add on? Ok, but still just solving for the lowest monthly rate, so….

I was inspired by this post and called Cox today. I am paying $170 for cable (no premium channels) with 1 DVR box, internet and a phone package with unlimited nationwide long distance. They would do NOTHING for me on the cable portion of my bill which is $84 even though I said I was going to cancel. I am seriously considering canceling cable

Absolutely..My philosophy these days. If the rest of the economic is going to make you feel pain via a deflation, dish some pain back out. Start calling up some of these companies you do business with and start pushing back by demanding more for your money.

BTW: can I ask why you have long distance? Do you make a lot of long distance calls? If you have a cell, why not just use it after peak hours? I’m just curious from a pricing perspective how these cable/phone companies are still making money on long distance service from residential customers.
