HBO is $16/month. CC you should call and complain. Basic cable shouldnt be more than $35, and broadband is $30/month. Unless you have ISDN lines or something. DSL is even cheaper. If you call and complain they'll lower the internet price, I've been doing it for 4 years.
It's worth $16 a month to me. A movie ticket here is $9.50 and a rental is $4. It doesnt take much to make up the difference.

I probably should have said basic cable + extended (CNN, MSNBC, CourtTV, History Channel, Discover, etc.) which is almost $60.00/month. We only have one choice of cable companies. The lowest internet service is $40.00/month. They talked me into some extra movie "STARZ" package or something when I received a telemarketing call six months ago for an extra $5.00/month. I have YET to even look at one of those channels so I'm just about ready to can that deal.
I mostly watch the networks, CourtTV and quite a few of the programming on the "extended" service. Those I feel I could not live without, HBO I definitely can live without. My favorites are:
All the CSIs (Las Vegas, Miami & NY)
All the "Law & Order" ones except SVU.
Without a Trace
Cold Case
Desperate Housewives (this show is hilarious)
NYPD Blue (even though it's done now, CourtTV has the reruns :thumbs: )
Just about anything on Court TV like Forensic Files, North Mission Road, The Investigators, etc.
I love it when TNT or USA run the James Bond marathons around the holidays.
Old movies on A&E, Turner Classic, etc.
Not so old movies on TBS, USA, FX, WB, etc.
