We have cable tV (with HBO/Cinemax), internet, and phone. Our cost with our
current ISP is $108 (after all taxes).

That seems high, so I'm looking to compare notes.

Feel free to indicate your services/cost.

Southwest Michigan Area:
Served by Comcast.
-Expanded Digital Cable with 2 Set Top High Definition Boxes. (5000 channels
of "nothing good on") with NO premium HBO/Cinemax
-Broadband Internet

$140 per month
I use Vonnage for phone. ($31 per month extra)
I also use Netflix, 1 DVD at a time. Mainly have it for the instant viewing
using LG BD-300 Steaming. ($10 per month extra)

wrong.

Right--don't complain. Where I am in New York, you would pay about $50
more/month for the equivalent package from Cablevision.

Mid-Michigan

I still think it is expensive, but apparently it's much higher elsewhere.

Incidentally, I am on a bunch of promotions.

My price will probably be $50-$75 higher in 6 months!
