I told them that the only important services I wanted were high speed internet, HD and DVR and On Demand. The package I received were those items and HBO and Streampix for $89/mo; but, then they tacked on charges for HD and DVR and a modem hence $120 range. Be very, very clear and ask them how much your package will cost you monthly. I do the same up north and down here and always get some sort of deal.

This is getting out of hand. I think a group of Villagers should get on the agenda at a Sumter County Commissioner's Meeting. I think they are the ones that regulate the prices or approve them for cable .

Unless I am in a dream world 200 bucks per month is entirely too much for a bundled service.
