Satelite, Cable, Internet, Phone....

What is everyone using?
I have Comcast cable and Internet. For $5 a month I rent their HD box. Paying $100 a month total. I don't have any premium packages either.

Home phone is through SBC. Not sure on the cost as it's tied in with our 2 cell phones. For the 2 cell phones and our home phone it's $130 a month total.

Looking to see if there are better deals out there. I was reading up on Vonage for the phone line $14.99 a month...and then looking at what SBC had on their DSL and Satelite packages. Their pricing wasn't very clear.

So I'm looking to hear what people like, don't like...and approximately what they are paying for their services.

We have Comcast cable and internet. We've had the others, but like Comcast the best. Our bill is a little more expensive, but we have every channel, HD, etc. Not like we use even half of the channels though.

We have SBC for our home phones, and they're probably more expensive, but I've known people who switched to save some money, and they got what they paid for.

Just my

We have talkamerica and it's pretty nice.....Not sure what we pay cuz i dont pay the bills

But i keep hearing about the deal where you can get your phone through your cable and long distance is like a regular phone call. And it's one price coverage

Haven't really read into it that's just what i heard

I have a Sprint cell phone. $100p/month for 2 phones. Haven't had a home phone since 1993.

I have comcast for cable and internet. $100p/month

I have Direct TV strickly for NFL Sunday Ticket. $66p/month for 4 months (season).

I wish Comcast would get a contract with the NFL.

Thinking about going w/ Vonage too. Since I live out in the stiks, if I want DSL, I have to go w/Comcast. I'm gonna switch some time after the first.
