I'm paying about $35 a month, but it's in a bundle along with phone and satellite.

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.

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!!!
