Description of service

For cable tv with one or more premium channels is about $60 per month. The most popular premium channels would be the movie channels. Regular cable service in out area is about $45 and for each addition premium channel is about an addition $10 per month. Sometimes if you have more than one cable company in your area you may be able to call them and see what kind of deal you can get. They may be having specials going on. With more that one cable company a lot of times they are competing with each other trying to get your business. When you call them, you can tell them what the other company quoted you as far as price and you may be able to get a deal. So if you want premium cable with more than just the basic channels,figure it being about $10 for each addition channel. Although, sometimes they may have a package deal, where you can get every premium channel that they have available for one special price, that would be cheaper that paying $10 for each of them individually.


Review of Service

It depends on how much you watch tv if you like to watch a lot of movies than $60 a month for premium cable is a good price. We get a lot for our money because we are always watching movies, especially in the winter.


Tips

Call your local cable company and see if they are having any specials right now or see if you can get a "package deal" That will save you a lot of money each month.
