>>>I don't really have much point of comparison but I know the bundling (I have AT&T uverse) makes for a pretty expensive package. I pay $250 a month or so for broadband, about a 1000 ttv channels including all premium 5 set top boxes, a DVR, and a VOIP phone line. Cell service (also AT&T) is about $80 a month for pretty much unlimited voice and 3gb data (which is more than I need as I am almost always on wireless)
