i think my basic is like 8 or 9 bucks, plus a package or x amount of channels, comes out to about 22$ before tax, plus about 6$ or so for the HD channels (basic stuff). pretty cheap, tv portion comes out to about 32$ after tax, the internet makes up the other 75$ (pricey, but reliable, fastish (10Mbps), and at least a respectable cap, 100Gigs)..

Basic Cable in Chicago is standard Local TV, BET, MSNBC, TBS and 20 home shopping network channels. I swear that is it!
