$6 a day............................................................................................

That's what it costs me to have internet and TV in my house. When I break it down that way it doesn't seem like it costs too much even though I know it's still a chunk 'o change. Anyone want to share your cost per day?

That's pretty cool. I never looked at it like that.

I have internet, tv, and landline with the same cable co. For TV that includes all the Premium channels so it's about as extensive as it can get without adding foreign language tiers. Three cable boxes and two CableCARDs.

Internet - very fast.

Phone - the usual.

The price, per day, for all three services is $7.40.

That's about what I pay for cable and internet. Considering that I'm constantly on the computer paying bills, making travel arrangements, emailing, etc. I guess that it's not that bad. Cable TV is another story. Watch very little TV and only maybe a dozen or so channels. A gross waste of money since that makes up the bulk of the internet/cable bill.

Still deciding what to do about it.

Three TV's connected - basic plan, no specialty movie channels (HBO, Cinemax, Starz, etc.) plus Internet (phone not included in the plan). Averaging over 30 days - $7.69/day

Mine runs $2.56 a day based on 30 days in the month.

We have DirecTV and a low end package that isn't available anymore. I get it lowered even more, as I call in and ask for it to be reduced. They do it to keep me. Right now I'm under a $20 per month price reduction on my package for one year, just for asking for it.

And my internet is only $20 a month as we still have a land line, and get it through Century Link.

We have a bundle....TV/internet/landline. Cost breakdown is $7.13/day based on a 30 day month. If it were up to me, I would cancel the TV and landline, but DH won't hear of it.

No TV for me, just internet, & landline with same cable co. About $3 per day - amazing

I had used a '30 day month' division and wondered how it would come out if I multiplied my monthly cost times 12, then divided by 365.

That came out to $7.29 Even less. yay! Seriously, when you look at that and assuming you use these services, it seems like you totally get your money's worth.

I'm quite sure I use more than 7.29 a day just with the internet and tv. The landline is just kind of - if I had my druthers I'd probably get rid of it but he said we need it for the alarm system. OTOH, when you have the full bundle of services with one company and delete one your costs for the other two will probably go up.

I agree! @chickenbutt I think the pain of having to pay that bill in one lump sum somehow goes away when you look at it from a different perspective.

Like many of you, mine averages out to $7.30 per day, but I think that's outrageously high considering at one time, tv viewing was free.

We get our cable included in our HOA. I believe we pay Frontier $79/month for our landline phone and our internet.That is $2.63 a day. We have to have a landline phone to operate the security gates & that is all it is used for so we buy the cheapest phone plan they offer.
