Withdrawals

We moved into our house about a month ago and we still have no internet, phone, or cable TV! Ok, phone is a little bit of a stretch. SBC services out to where we live but its $30 a month for a basic no long distance land line. Steph and I are waiting for Time Warner to come out to where we live because we can get unlimited call anywhere we like for just $40 a month. Likewise we know that we could do satellite but once again we're waiting for Time Warner. As for internet, we've shopped around only to find that dial-up is $60!!! I'm not paying $60 for dial-up. So the long and the short of it is that we're waiting for Time Warner. They have a package that includes cable TV with some extra channels, broadband, and the phone service for $130 a month. Not bad considering it cost more separately. We've been told that we should be getting service first thing in February. I count the days.
