Barbie: I am assuming you have a particular home in mind? What you need to do is ask the current owners, or current tenant if you can, for the yearly totals of each of these bills. Cable and internet are a personal thing and together may run you about $90 per month. With the other utilities, the former tenant/owner can give you an idea depending on what they keep their temps at. If you cannot get them from the tenant/or owner, you can get them from the utility companies if you have the full name of the last residents.
Without knowing the square footage of heated living area, it's difficult to guess. I will say, however, that
all utilities are high in Providence, so be prepared. One of my sisters is paying $2.49 per gallon for oil -- for a 2100 sf home at an average of 67 to 68 degrees. Last week her total for the year was over $2500 for heat alone; and it's a well insulated well built newer home.
