A lot of people over there say they’re able to get deals by threatening to cancel their service and say their going with a competitor. Visit the forums on that site for details on how to work the retention operators I just did this with Qwest, threatened to cancel service, and they took $10 off my bill for the next 6 months. I was paying $40/month, after taxes, for the internet (15mbps) bundled with the home phone service which is extra. So it’s now $30/month for the next 6 months. I’d drop the home phone but that would raise my internet price to virtually the same as internet+phone. ---

$29.95 a month as part of one of those triple service deals where I also pay the same rate for cable tv and phone service. I figure they’re coming out ahead on my minimal phone and tv usage but I’m ahead on my excessive internet usage. ---

Comcast, $66.84 for internet and basic cable. It is more expensive if we get just internet and no cable. Never understood that. Either way it is robbery, though. ---

We pay $55 for 15 MB up/down, as part of a cable/phone/Internet bundle. ---

That’s very cheap compared to mine. But that’s because I have digital cable service instead of basic. But you’re still paying about $40 per month less than I am. ---

25/25 on FiOS with phone for 95 or so. It’s probably not the best deal out there, but it’s blistering speed and reliable. The teenagers can all do whatever teenagers do on the Internet, while my wife is talking with Brazil on Skype and my Webex for work doesn’t skip a beat. ---

$150 (CDN, which isn’t helpful to you because we pay more for everything _grumble grumble_ but I want to contribute to the thread) for phone, internet and TV with basic cable+30 channels à la carte+The Movie Network channels. ---

1200 baht per month. That works out to about US$39 at the current exchange rate. ---

$75.26 for net only. Comcast sucks. 😕 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-do-you-pay-for-internet/599596.md?page=1)
