Depends on where you live. That's expensive for a suburban city (with like 100K+ population), imo. Not unreasonable for a rural area though.

i would go with this but i doubt the TC would want something different in terms of subscription.

hulu or netflix may not work for him it doesn't have everything.

eh I pay $200/mo for gigabit internet, the next-to-highest tier TV package and home phone from AT&T U-Verse

$147 for cable+internet isnt too bad if its decent internet, especially if that includes taxes

Yes. You can subscribe to Playstation Vue and still keep the DVR service for $40/month. Standalone Internet should only be around $40-50. You should be able to save at least $50/month.

Traditional cable services are massively overpriced.

this. buy one or buy it. mine was 80 bucks thru cable co and renting it at 5$ per month it pays itself off rather quickly considering you will use it for years.
