I was paying $160-ish, but I called to report an issue and the guy took it down to $84 a year. It's stupid how Comcast takes advantage of their customers by allowing them to pay double that unless they call and work out a deal. If I could, I would switch them up so fast, their heads would spin. But luckily Google Fiber is trying to make its way into town, and when or if it does, I'm on that so hard.

It also depends where you live in the US. Some locations are cheaper than others. I don't know why this is, but we've been customers with them since...god knows how long 10+ years? It's either them or CenturyLink, and I don't trust CenturyLink at this point considering how weak their infrastructure is compared to Comcast.
We have Newwave Communications.
We only have their internet. No phone, no TV, just Net. My wife runs a business, we have a Roku box to watch TV over it, and so on.
We pay $50 a month.
The bandwidth is very good, their customer service is outstanding, and we have no complaints at all.
Before we moved, we had ComCrap.
The bandwidth sucked. They kept sending us letters saying we were getting close to going over our allotment of usage, but never said what that was. Their customer service did not exist. And they billed us for things we never used, like a tier box. And every time you called them to complain they tried to "upsell" something I didn't want, like telephone service and movie channels.
For basic cable TV and crappy "is it working now?" internet, we were paying $160 a month.

My cable & internet bill, at present, is about $105 a month; $65 for basic digital cable and $40 for internet service. Thankfully, our cable system in Morganton's city-owned; back in the late 80's, after people complained and complained bitterly over how bad TCI was (both in terms of service & cable quality; think Comcast but worse), the city took over the system...TCI raised holy f'n hell over it but when the city showed them all the hundreds of unanswered complaints from all over, TCI all-but walked out from town.
