I just got a 13.5% increase in my bundled cable/internet/phone bill.
No changes to service.
My new cost is $130.37, I don't have any premium channels.
I do have anolog basic + expanded basic cable as they call it.

What are you all paying for your service?

IIRC 35 euro for telephone + internet (4Mb ADSL) and 7.50 for digital
TV. Its the cheapest I can get from a provider with decent quality.

Bundle deals can look good good during the teaser phase, but then ...

Here, no bundles:

TV: Antenna (a.k.a. free)
Phone: Have to look, probably around $25/mo, POTS
DSL: $25/mo

That's about it. Oh, cell via VirginMobile on the Sprint net, about
$5/month. This buys airtime at 18c/min and they just keep rolling on over.

Possibly TV is going to be mostly over for us on account of sub-par ATSC
multipath performance. Oh well, life will go on.

I'm paying $169.62.

In VT I was paying just under $200 for cable (with movie channels) and
Internet. POTS was another $50 per line, so we dumped one for the
cable Internet and the other for cell phones.

Taxes, taxes and more taxes :-(

You forgot "fees". We also had the Adelphia boondoggle to support.

The local cable company doesn't serve our neighborhood. Seems they
don't serve any well. They're bankrupt (Charter). We now have the
horrid DISH TV and AT&T DSL. I'd dump DISH in a minute.

TV. Its the cheapest I can get from a provider with decent quality.

NZD28/mo for (256kb) ADSL + NZD1.5/GB from 0800hr 0200hr
(0200 to 0800 is free (unless I exceed some number which is physically
inpossible)). traffic to the providers usenet server is not charged for.
in the past 6 months the only major outage was 6 consecutive days without
usenet.

in the last half hour something has stopped the internet, support line is busy, so a:
it's recent and b: they know about it. I run a news spool here using
a "suck" like tool so short outages don't worry me much.
