the regular cable is $29.99 when you get the phone service for $29.99 or if you have cable tv, you get the triple play for $90 which is phone, computer, and television.



for a extra $9.99 you can get the new BOOST service, so its $39.99 a month.



Free HDTV box that records 100 hours or programming, god I love cablevision!
