I pay that $59 too, but my impression is that this is an introductory offer that expires after a year. Or am I wrong on that? i would imagine TW would offer the same deal throughout all the boroughs, at least wherever they have service. I'm in Queens.
And basic cable is very very basic. Sometimes I can see an old movie on channel 55 - whatever that is, and I like the discovery health station I get - but there's not much there on this basic package.
I have Verizon DSL, which adds $15 to my phone bill, and my really basic, rock-bottom digital cable with a DVR from Time Warner is about $33/ mo. I get the channels with the yellow boxes here --> Time Warner Cable, but not even all of them. I get, for example, no national all-news channel. This is for a single set.
I have heard that in buildings where there are competing services, TW charges even a few bucks more. Doesn't make sense, but that's what I hear.
Verizon Online DSL w/ basic phone package with few perks here and there: about $70
Cablevision basic w/ some packages: $70
Switching to Cablevision Triple Play(Cable internet, phone, cable TV): I should expect to pay $110 allegedly with the taxes included, for the 1st year. After that, should come out to $120 w/ taxes and fees. Bull****, I typed. I'll probably be saving a whopping $20 a month.
As far as I know, no neighborhood offer the option of going for either TW or CV. It's either CV vs. satellite or TW vs. satellite. I have no clue about Verizon's FiOS.

Schwab House (73rd-74th @ WEA- RSD) residents get a choice of TWC or something else (RCN, I think); Lincoln Towers gets both TWC and RCN. Satellite is really tough in Manhattan -- your dish needs an unobstructed southern exposure. I live in a walk-up, and directly to my south is a 40-something story building. There are lots of similarly situated residents, so satellite is a no-go for us.
I suspect that most of the residences of the ultra-wealthy offer more than a single way to get clear TV reception.
Mann, that is more expensive than I expected for some reason. I don't even want tv, I never watch it, but the roommate will want it I suppose.
