    I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials.

    Wait. You’re paying $230+ per month for internet and tv? Even if I was currently living in Western Europe, a fully maxed out package there wouldn’t cost half of that and that’s without the time gated discounts.
    (For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)

      It’s $210 a month plus $30 in taxes and fees for 400 mbit internet with a 1.2 TB usage cap and a mid-tier programming package renting one cable box (required) and one cablecard for the Tivo box. Some months I exceed my internet cap and have to pay $10 for every 50 GB over the limit. Welcome to California living.

      In the US, I pay $90/month ($1,080/year) for 1 Gbps internet.

      That’s it. No TV. No landline. Just Internet.
