I think when I left we were paying ~$115/month for great internet and all channels except HBO and such
I just wish comcast had a major competator out here
Yep, back in MI I paid $70-$80 a month for whatever the fastest Internet they had at the time, HD, plus a DVR, and HBO. I come out here and was able to get that price for two years then they called my bluff and I followed through and ditched cable. (They also would lock me into a price in MI for a year non of this 6month crap) I do have 20MB High speed internet here...funny where we lived in MI they always upped you to the fastest there was no 1MB or 10mb service...LOL
HD antenna service not bad. I use torrents for TV shows, we do have Amazon Prime now so watching some stuff through that by way of the PS3.
I buy lots of movies (yes I download them too to try :-P, to much crap to justify buying them all). Even with all this...we don't watch much TV, Two and Half Men while in bed, news and that is it typically.
I wish Verizon had FIOS here, I always check every few years.
