No I don't live at my parents, thank god...

I don't watch TV, I don't even have a TV. Also, I got "free" internet - it's included in my rent. Additionally, I wouldn't call internet connection as home entertainment, it's a pretty basic necessity nowadays - it can be used for entertainment purposes though.

75mb internet

So about 80$ U.S that isn't bad

[Lenonis]

How are you defining home entertainment? Just cable/internet and such?

US internet prices are absolutely crazy. And it's crazy how much you guys spend on TV.

[Revi]

About 40 Euros for net, that's it for monthly expenses. A lot more if you add the money spent on a good computer though.

[THE Bigzoman]

95.

50 for direct tv.

45 for internetz.

up until yesterday it was £44 per month for Unlimited Fibre, Basic Sky, and Line rental.
one phone call later, it's down to £28. Sky love giving discounts if you threaten to leave them.

[Captain N]

I pay $135/month for cable and 50Mbps Internet - It would only be $115 but I had to tack on an extra $20 a month for the Sports Package...Must have NHL Network!

[Blade Wolf]

About 40 euro for internet and i wish i could dump the TV license because i never watch tv but the law in Sweden regarding that is so ancient and retarded. Doesn't matter if i watch tv or not, hell i don't even need to have a tv in order to pay the license fee, a computer is enough to make a person pay the fee.

[Grimbold21]

49 euros for cable and internet

Yeah, every year about this time, I am tempted to cut the cord, but then I get talked into slimming down to like a bundled 130$ but for some reason it creeps right back up to near 200$. "It's a TRAP"

[Rixis]

£28 per month for internet is about all. I play WoW, but pay for subscription in gold. I occasionally spend on games, but I get most from bundles, so maybe like £5 per month, if that.

You can actually avoid that creep with Comcast. Every time your price gets closer to the end of the "Promotion Period" just call the Cable Service Support Desk and tell them you want to cancel due to cost increase. They'll extend your prices for another year or two. I've been doing it for the last 4 years and my price hasn't yet risen above the $135 I mentioned earlier.

[Puupi]

May I ask why are you guys paying hundreds of dollars for cable?!
