How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
Just curious, how much do you pay for your cable, phone, wireless and internet service? Who do you use and do you bundle?
For me we have the Verizon Fios triple play $99/mo plan (with wireless consolidated) and the bill is $170 for all 4 services from Verizon - internet, cable, phone, cellphones for both DH and me.

Yes, that includes 2 cellphones with no dataplan though. We also got the 20% off wireless svc. through our employer.
The $99/mo triple play deal will end though so we're also trying to find ways to cut cost by removing the landline and cable.

We have Time Warner Triple Play (no premium channels) and our bill is $190 a month.
We have 4 cell phones (blackberries) on a Sprint family data plan and our bill is $196 a month.
It irks me to no end that we pay $400 a month for this stuff.

Re: How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
Hmm, I feel ripped off now.
$210 / month - Cablevision phone, internet (including wifi), 4 cable boxes (2 of which are DVR)
$180 / month - Verizon Wireless - 2 cells phones with unlimited data plans
We switched to Fios a few years ago to get the $99 deal, and then back to cable again. Besides the back and forth I'm anxious to see what others might post to save a buck or 2.

Re: How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
We just switched to Fios, but had to do Direct TV with it since they don't offer FIOS in our area. Our bill was $134 the first three months and now it went to $181 and we just started with them. DH is actually calling them now to inquire. 
We were paying $181 for Cables triple play that was only family basic!!! At least with Direct TV we get the top, top package. More stations than I could even need or imagine using.
That includes TV/Internet/phone.
We also have 4 phones (2 with $30 per month data plans) and we pay around $175.
Still paying way toooooooooo much. All of these companies stink.

That's what we did when we switched from Cablevision/Optimum to FIOS!
And if switching no longer works, we're going to eliminate the landline (replace with Obihai) and cable (replace with Netflix and Amazon or Hulu).
On demand tv/movie is the trend now! :)

Re: How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
I feel like every time I threaten to leave the rep is like, "ok, go ahead." And I'm stuck looking like a fool. But maybe I'll give it one more try.
We've thought of eliminating the movie channels but my husband won't let go of True Blood. Oh well.

Re: How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
We have the 99 a month deal but after taxes and stuff it comes out to like 115 or 120 or something.
We pay 100 total for the cell phones for both DH and I but we were talking recently about how expensive that is... DH is going to look into switching from Verizon to Sprint or something like that b/c it's so expensive and we have been with Verizon Wireless for so long I feel like they think they have us by the ball$ ! Same thing happened with Geico, was with them forever, never had accidents or tickets, and the rates went up randomly..... I switched and shopped around, went to Allstate and then all of a sudden I kept getting "Baby come back" love letters from Geico  only a few months later and it was cheaper than I have ever paid! So back we went.
I guess it's the name of the game but it's annoying lol.

Re: How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
We have been paying 99 dollars plus tax for the verizon fios triple play for almost 4 years.. When we called to change the plan about 2 years back (got too expensive) they told us we could reup our current plan. We got another 2 years for 99 dollars for the triple play.. You can call and ask them to continue the plan..

Re: How much do you pay for cable, internet, phones....
We are paying like $150 for Time Warner. And this is w/o any HBO r anything just DVR. PLUS the coop we live in supposedly has a "deal" package Well our box in our bedroom stopped working which was good bc I finally called Verizon.
With Verizon We will be paying 81 plus tax (which they have to tell me when they confirm the appt tomorrow) for the first year then $101 plus tax thereafter. That includes 2 boxes, internet and a landline.
