Elite Bundle a good deal

your kidding right...man this country has too much disposable income.
My Comcrap is 90 channels of crap and roughly 7mbps speeds.
This costs with taxes $110. after taxes that 129 will go to $160. This is 250 channels of QVCs,Judge shows, and enough man bashing channels like Lifetime, Oxygen, and TLC to make the rest of us get divorced.
This also marks the Deathstars beginning to the end of cheap dsl.
And heres an argument for you; for those of you whom do not think this is a utility, are you willing to give up your easement for a VRAD for someone elses "luxury" or "privalege"?

I need some oxygen....Oprah here i come.

That's partly what they're banking on... low(er) cost service overall.

If I had 'too much' disposable income, I'd have my mortgage paid and a second house as rental income in Maui.

The bigger picture is smaller incremental revenues that they rely on by telling the masses that this is something that they can't live without. This is a collaborative effort between data providers, cell services, cable entertainment etc. etc..
5 years ago, would you have thought a $129 + tax "cable" bill was a good value?
Add in your telephone service and cell service, your looking at 3 to 4k a year(depending on your services.

That 3 or 4k would make how many mortgage payments?
