I have Xfinity too and I'm not going anywhere, it more than pays for itself. For cable TV I just have the basics, then I added a NetGear device to get NetFlix and YouTube (among other stuff) on my big screen, so I don't need to pay the high prices Xfinity charges for premium content.

I pay 39.99, which is expensive for the quality of internet I get (satellite), but it's the only "high-speed" choice in our rural area. Actually it's a low price for satellite internet, becuase I'm getting a good discount through the government subsidy that they gave to satellite companies in rural areas a few years ago. I don't approve of government subsidies, but I figured I might as well get some of my tax money back.

I pay about $150 for FIOS TV, Phone and Internet bundle, have the biggest TV Package with the most HD channels, phone is just normal phone, without long distance, which we do not need anyway, and I love my internet, 30Mbps/25Mbps.

I use to have hughesnet and it was about 80 a month, but that was the only highspeed internet I could get where I live unless it is a satlite so I had to go back to dial up which sucks.  I spend 78 dollars on dish and 85 for cell phones everything is so expensive we have to cut back so that is why I let the internet go and went to dial up

I pay $24.95 a month for internet with AT&T. I tried to inquire about AT&T U-verse for my cable so I could bundle, but it's not yet available where I live. The messed up part is that it's available right around the corner from me. Oh well!

I can relate regarding bad quality of internet in rural areas.  Live in the country, and it's like being punished for living in the country.  We have satellite available, but we hated it, and finally got a broadband company to provide T1, but it's not reliable.  Speeds are inconsistent, and it goes down alot.

$50.00 per month for Fiber to the Home. I really love it.
Title: Re: How much do you pay for internet?
Post by: skrogman on September 27, 2012, 05:11:42 am
I originally thought I got a good deal by bundling, too.  I have Fiber Optic cable, phone, internet bundle.  At the time, I thought it was a good deal because I get high speed internet for five bucks a month as a promotion for taking the maximum cable, but the net goes down a lot and the cable freezes.  I am tied into a 1 yr contract and am waiting for the date, too because I think I will go back to regular digital cable with a modem.  I guess ya learn that ya get what ya pay for, huh???...lol...Thanks for asking...great thread!!!

I have a Fios Triple play package for TV, Internet, phone (landline), I pay $99.00.  So I consider internet cost at $33.00 per month.

I've got Clear and it's $49.99/mo. I had Verizon Fios bundle at $99 the first yr but it went up to 125 the next yr, 150, and finally 180 so I quit. Watch tv on the internet so I don't pay for cable/satellite.

I pay $15 and I get about 18/mb. Someone from my town decided to run his own internet business and I haven't really had any problems with it.
Title: Re: How much do you pay for internet?

I pay about $52/mo but that may change because we might switch providers and get a bundled service.

I am paying about $40.00 per month. This is done through a bundled service. I think that the government needs to step in and let the internet be a free service to the american people, but they must not over regulate the use, so that it becomes a block on freedom of expression.

I pay about 38 a month. It is together with telephone (land line) which I plan to get rid of. Everyone uses cell phone only. Thinking of getting internet together with TV, uverse, sound pretty good but still a little high.

Post by: oonamas on September 27, 2012, 01:08:18 pm
I pay $50 a month for Clear. It really is only $50 though, no taxes that bump it higher, and that's a fixed rate, not promotional. I've looked at all my options in this area, and that is the cheapest for the speed I have. Unfortunately, it's not the most reliable or fastest connection. If I start telecommuting more, I'm going to have to look into Comcast internet bundled with a phone line I think. We don't have cable tv.

What software or website do you use to watch TV on the internet? Is it live, meaning that if you tune in at 9:00, you'll be able to watch whatever show in on at that time? I downloaded a program called Digital TV for PC, but it only has clips and stuff you can find anywhere online, not the actual broadcasts (unless I'm not using it right!)

We just switched from ATT to U-Verse. We only pay 19.95 for a year.  Then only 20.00 more after that. 
We had HORRIBLE service with ATT&T DSL... this new fiber optic is a lot better.

Happy Earnings!!! :thumbsup:

After reading this, I am going to look into it, we just have a bundled phone bill, which it is included on.  With our cell phones, fax, business line.  I need to go over that to see if I can save anywhere, on any of it.

We pay for t-mobile and have i-phones but yet here we sit right at this very moment doing our college homework at the library...so we are spending hundreds of dollars, and the thing doesn't give us what we need. We already paid for the hotspot, hundred thirty dollars, then got the phones, three hundred fourty nine dollars, and service 99.00 a month, yep, sitting at the library, can't even do my fusion cash on the internet, because the pictures at the end of the fifteen cent click and two cent email will not pop up, yes, we got a contract and a great deal. haha

We pay twenty bucks for high speed internet.(DSL) I don't know how long that's going to last but I am going to enjoy it as long as it does. It seems they have us by the poopies and if you are hooked on the internet like I am you will pay it. We have Verizon and you can get a bundle of TV, internet and phone for $99 but we only have  the internet DSL. :wave:
