I guess it depends on what Cable company you have. I have Adelphia, and at first it was about 10/15 more a month. Then they supposedly had some kind of "change", where you had to buy packages (Gold, Platinum, Silver or whatever). They told me I could no longer get just HBO, but rather one of these packages. I have the "Silver" package including cable, HBO and other stations I don't even watch, along with high speed internet. Before I got the high speed thru adelphia, I just had extended cable and HBO for about $60. a month. Now I am paying $125. per month. When I move, I'm dumping adelphia.

Oh, and while I'm in the mood to bitch about Adelphia, more than once while I am watching a favorite show, I suddenly get subtitles in Spanish on the screen. One time in the middle of Desperate Housewives, the dialogue all of a sudden changed, and everyone was speaking Spanish. Talk about pissed. Plus I get computer outages at least once a week.

Ok, I'm done bitching.
