I was at around $135 a month for two years. It just went to around $200. If your a new customer then $120 for all three services can be had depending on what options you choose. Just go online and you can get exact cost.

I'm paying $163/mo in Ocean County NJ. That includes "Select" for TV plus internet & VoIP phone. Also paying for (1) modem & (4) cable boxes in different rooms. Also getting Cinemax, Starz & Showtime as promo freebies. Constantly battling with Optimum to avoid their price increases.....unfortunately, only other option in my town is Dish, but I don't want one on the roof. I found that demanding to speak with "Retention Dept." is best way to negotiate with Optimum, but at the end of the day, they're a monopoly!

I guess no one wants to say what they pay for services? Mods you can lock this one when you want.

I think three people told you what they are paying. If you go to the optimum web site you can get the exact price for your address. Pretty simple.

You are so right....retention is the only way to go ! I sold home in Denville 2 days after billing month started and they made me pay for the entire month ! Even retention could not help....Optimum sucks hard !.....But after I paid the month I called retention and told them what happened and I said now......I want something for nothing ! ....they gave me 1 year of Showtime,Starz and the other one for free !.......They still suck.....but I still have them in Ocean County
