That sucks. I've got cox internet ( in OKC) the price for the Internet package didn't change when I cut off the cable TV $43/mo. I use Vonage, $30/mo for unlimited calling (long distance included), caller ID, voice mail, call waiting. They even email .wav files of my voice mails. I definately recommend vonage for phone regardless of Television provider as long as you have cable internet.

so over the course of that first year, you avg about 35 a month. Threaten to cancel your service if the 42/55 is too high, which will often result in savings. Also, is comcast internet the only option?nikonosis;908994; said:

Please note that is without HD. If you have been enjoying one of those "free" (monthly charge) HD-DVR's from your local cable provider, it will cost you $199 upfront after a $100 instant rebate for a direcTV HD-DVR. And that is to lease it, you still don't own it, and still pay a monthly fee for it.

uh no
That is absolutely not true (on both accounts). I just signed up for DirecTV on Sunday and I researched everything about it prior to doing so. DirecTV will give you a free HD RECEIVER OR a HD-DVR for $199 (normally $299). You can't combine the offers either. I know because I needed both and had to take the $100 off HD-DVR and pay $99 for the HD Receiver for a total over $300 (tax).
It's possible you confused this with Dish Network who is offering free HD-DVR's, but no BTN, so deal breaker for me.

definitions
Such an appropriate screen name. Here are some definitions, learn them, then re-read my post:
HD Receiver - a device that allows you to "receive" an HD signal and view it in real time
HD-DVR - a device that allows you to DVR (aka RECORD) an HD signal and play it back at a later date.
One is FREE and the other is $199 (after $100 off). But again, offers can not be combined.
