<does that include what you have to pay for the video service?> Why Hell yes, 3 for one or something! <if thats the case, then my cable bill would be well over 100 each month. not much savings in that.> Thats the beauty of it Trey. You only have one bill which the itty bitty bells can't supply. Im hearing in the coming year that the Fcc will let municipalities rent leeways only on existing lines layed & that any new lines that need added or replaced will have a heavy leeway price. Something like a 5 bucks per month per line plus huge additional leeway fees for any lines be it ground or pole. No Kidding, Dug

Trey -- You asked whether the cableco internet connection is in addition to video service. The answer where I am is "yes". My monthly TV cable bill would jump from $65 to $105 if cable access to the internet costs $40 (presuming, of course, that it is offered and that this is the price). Access through my local phone co (BellAtl) is similarly an add on to my current phone bill. Thus, a typical monthly local phone bill of $25 (voice only) would go up by $40 for 640K in & 90K out if I use my own ISP and by $60 if I use BellAtl as ISP. BTW, BellAtl offers 1.6M in & 90K out for $60/mo (if you use your own ISP) or for $100/mo. if you use it as ISP. Its prices for 7.1M in & 680K out are $110/mo. for just the service and $190 if BellAtl is also the ISP. [Note: I'm not a BellAtl shareholder or employee, just a residential customer.] Regards, Harry
