Ok, fess up
How much do you pay for cable Tv?

I pay between $10 and $11 a month for cable tv (It's not a whole lot of stations), but comcast internet is like $45 and the channels are enormous.

I made the switch, due to the lack of MSM coverage. I think it has been more than worthwhile.

13. That's about what I pay for Comcast cable & internet
but fortunately I get reimbursed by my company for internet service as I work from home and the internet is essential for my work.

3. A whole lot more than that.
However; I don't have a bunch of other bills (no house, car, cc payments) so I can afford to. We have TimeWarner digital cable and internet. I pay about $150 a month. I have all the channels and the onDemand stuff so I count that as my video rental money. We have to have the cable internet because of hubby's job.

11. $115.00 per month
I originally got cable so that I could get HBO........I gotta see Bill Maher!
Then I decided to get the expanded schedule for digital channels because it was only about $10.00 per month extra. Then I wanted Showtime (that was $10.00 per month additional too) and when I got the computer, I decided to get high speed internet. All together it costs $115.00 per month.
