$59.15 /month. TV charge is $16.96/month (for what I call basic TV). Internet is $36.99/month. So far the internet service is OK, but slower than my RR turbo in Vestal, NY.

I also subscribe to MLB, over the internet, which gives me more than enough baseball. That said I am shut out for live broadcasts, in NY when to Phillies play the Mets, plus all NYY games are delayed. But they are available on demand.

I am making due with my cell phone after having a land line with the same number for 60 years. So far not a problem that I know of. Thinking of using Skype for a "land line" here in Florida. I understand I can transport Skype to NY at no additional charge. Would be interested if anyone knows about this.
Thanks for the tip on the Basic TV @$16.95/month. I just signed up for that package after reading your post. Also got the Performance promo internet package. And they are installing the day the moving van shows up...how good is that???
