Got a deal for 71 channels for $20 a month for 12 months because I am a new subscriber. Once the 12 months is up, back to satellite I go

my experience with adelphia is that they are teh evil!!!!!!

but, all you have to do is call and complain about the service and they hand out free months like they are water.  

I have direcTV with Tivo and 4 recievers with the PLUS package and HBO/SHowtime and I pay roughly $78 a month.  I'm not on cable but on DSL and with SBC I pay $55 a month for unlimited long distance and 3mps DSL

Just switched from Dish Network to DirecTV. I liked Dish's set up better, but their customer service finally made me switch.

I have the Total Choice Premier and HD package (275 total channels) with 2 DVR's. $55 for the first 3 months then $109.

Time Warner, 4 receivers & DVRs, full premium pack, cable internet

Base pack - $48/mo (includes digital cable, on demand content, music, etc)
Premium pack - $30/mo (HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, TMC)
Sports pack - $3/mo (has a bunch, but I only watch Outdoors & Speed)
HDTV "plus" - $5/mo.
Digital tuner - $28/mo (4 of 'em)
DVR upgrade - $28/mo (4 of 'em. I blame Skuzzy. He was right.)
Cable Internet - $40/mo.

So, $182 monthly.

I feel violated.

That's one thing I will allways compliment is that I have NEVER had a problem with directv's customer service.
