Here is my Comcost (Typo, but I will leave it.) bill from December 2006:

$10.00 "Limited Basic" TV
42.95 Internet
 0.38 taxes
------
$53.33

Without the $10 TV service, Internet would cost an extra $15 per month. 
The "Standard" TV service would cost $52.20 per month.

Here is my Vonage bill from February 2007:

$24.99 Unlimited US and UK.
 6.23 taxes
------
$31.22

So, that's $84.55 for TV, phone, and Internet.  They average out to $26 
per service, pre-tax, or $28 including tax.
