Not in the US, I'm assuming.

My "triple play" in NC, US was $140, that's with 6Mbps internet (at the time), HD digital cable with no premium channels, and digital phone with unlimited calling in US and Canada.

I "downgraded" to 30Mbit Internet. Added Netflix and Amazon Prime for TV and Vonage for phone, saving $50/mo. in the process. I still feel gypped.

Your location would be relevant here.

I'm assuming you have 6 roommates.

Yea, I'd like to know where you live. I'm paying 75 for 50 Mbps and basic cable

Not 50Mbps/50Mbps I take it. What's you're upload speed and ISP?

I have TWC in the midwestern US; $65 (up from $50 after the introductory offer lapsed) for 35Mbps/5Mbps.

I don't even want faster speeds than that; I just want something resembling symmetrical. I'd be perfectly happy with 15Mbps/15Mbps.

I'm waiting for an ISP to offer "x Mbps" and an unlocked modem that lets you divvy up your bandwidth however you want.

Hell. I'm waiting for an ISP to offer an unlocked modem.
