We have paid near 500.00 for Internet Verizon and three phones, two months ago, a little less last month via MIFI only game in town here. AT&T is about 100.00.
Direct TV about 150.00. Looked at Hughes and another Satellite for Internet both slower and more costly. A quarter mile away we could get Charter cable Internet and TV for about 150.00 in real life. Large cities etc get rates half that.
Considering giving up TV and just going to a hotspot for Internet. If we were on the road Full timing. TV would be free unless we continued Direct and Internet largely free. Might save enough, if I crunched actual numbers to pay a good part of RV park fees or all of them.
If I come across a fair deal ,for tower I may just use over the air TV.
Twenty years ago and less only cost we had was about 30.00 per month for AT&T with three lines including ISDN.
Through eighties only cost was about 7.00 a month for telephone and only had to dial five numbers for local.
It seems foolish to spend this much on TV and Internet.
