Guess how much the French pay for Cable TV AND internet AND phone service combined - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In France they pay an average of 38 dollars a month for ALL 3 COMBINED,less than most Americans pay for just basic cable alone.In America people pay an average 160 dollars a month for the same thing.-Actually not the same thing,the French get a lot more,like faster internet speeds,TV channels NOT filled with a zillion commercials, and so on.---I don't have a link but I read this in the Long Island Press newspaper,however I'm sure it's easy to look up on the net.The article also mentioned many other developed countries pay far less than they do in America and for superior service.

more competition, less fees and regulatory add-ons, less government bodies taking a kickback, stricter laws.

With the high cost of food, gas, utilities, property taxes, health care and I could go on and on.....we simply can't afford anymore taxes. Millions of American's are hanging by a thread right now and everything continues to climb except money in our pockets to pay all this. Seniors are really hurting but so are a lot of people. If taxes and prices get any higher we will either have to leave this Country or die.

Right now I pay $0.00 a month for Pay-TV. Considering what you get for $139.00 a month,

I don't miss it at all.
