Hec, how much is monthly cable in SF?
Ours is bundled with our DSL, so I'd have to look at the bill. It's not especially cheap, though you can often get a deal for six months when you first sign up.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Actually, I'll need both, so a benchmark total is fine. The website's giving me no love.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The website is completely horrid and nearly content-free in terms of pricing for the packages. Internet and basic cable bundled together is probably something like 80 a month, basic plus is 110, and it goes up about $10/month from there for variously ridiculously inclusive packages. You can probably get something like $40/month for six months to a year for a new account.
Sprinkle a few more probablies and abouts in the above paragraph and then add or subtract $9.99 to or from each of the above numbers, and there's the local cable/Internet package lineup. Approximately.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What cable company is it?

Thanks, JZ. I was guessing my potential new address and they kept telling me there was no such address. I finally put in my address here and they said the same thing. And they won't give you pricing without an address.

I ran into the same thing, megan, when I was researching utilities when moving. Even when I put in a good address of a potential place, I'd get "this address already has service" and no information. SO not user friendly.
The place I ended up renting has basic cable included and I pay $24/month for high-speed internet. The place has a dedicated Comcast guy, so if I need anything I just call Jeff. Kinda makes it easier.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
megan, I'm paying $62/month pre-taxes/surcharges for high-speed internet and super-basic cable (no Comedy Central, CNN, A&E - but I do get Discovery and the 5 "networks").
