Default cost of Big 10

We plan to move down to our villa in September, after renting it out for 4 years. Currently have Comcast. My guy wants to get STO (Sports Time Ohio), FSNO (Fox Sports Network Ohio) and the Big Ten Network and of course, all the ESPN stations, including ESPNU. We have them now on WOW cable (Wide Open West). He has spoken directly to the Dish Network people, and can get all these things (except for ONN - Ohio News Network, which broadcasts Ohio High School football playoff games and some other stuff during the year).

Cost thru Dish Network is different than a package thru Century Link. We will probably get a land line (I can never keep track of my cellphone, might be in my golf bag, my purse, the kitchen or the laundry room at any time), cable and internet thru Century Link (used to be Embarq). Check out their website and put in the zipcode to see what's available and how much. Right now we are paying $71.97 for high speed internet and land line (local only - long distance blocked for tenants) and another $62.24 for Comcast cable (not HD and no premium channels, no DVR). Waiting till we move to swtich to get whatever freebies they usually offer for the first 3 mos or so. I believe it's going to be less for more once we move and consolidate everything.
