We've got the Comcast "Triple Play:" internet, cable television and landline telephone service for $99.99. A lot of money, but less than we'd be paying separately.

Just internet is $35. Cable is much more.
We used to have the triple deal through our cable company but it was going to be $169 a month before taxes. So we cut back to just internet and some of the cable channels and that is about $100 before taxes.

We pay $55/mo. for cable internet (without cable TV) with Charter. It's our only high-speed option here other which really bites. I'm hoping some other companies will hurry up and set up in our area and give them some competition.

We pay $45 for internet and basic, basic cable through Comcast. We don't have the capability for DSL or fios where we live. Dial-up or cable are the only options and dial-up got old fast. Not being able to order cheaper internet is getting old fast too. I hate seeing commercials pretending everyone can get DSL or fios when they can't.

$29.99 (+taxes and fees) for Verizon DSL. I could have went with the cheaper $19.99 option, but I figured I'd actually use the extra speed.

Too much. I pay $49.95/month (taxes, if any, included) for cable internet. The trouble is my area doesn't get DSL yet so cable is the only way to go broadband. Well, okay, there's also satellite internet but I don't know how reliable that is.

$40.00 NZ for broadband here. I was on dialup but went to broadband because I use the net for research for study.
