Entertainment services you have a monthly/yearly subscription for

[Loppan Torkel]

Gaming/TV/Internet? For premium content or to gain access to it at all?

For me: For public service TV, including some commercial channels (World Cup soccer is covered, Game of Thrones a year after US release); smartphone subscription free internet up to 10Gb/month, free calls/sms; internet 30Gb/s fiber - about 100$/month.

That's all. No gaming or premium TV fees.

I saw this fake site and started thinking what I'd be willing to pay for internet services.

I have a monthly subscription for Netflix and a phone plan with Wind Mobile that I can cancel at any time. That's about it, really.

 

[Loppan Torkel]

No internet?

 

[Synobun]

No internet?

Internet's included in my basic rent so I didn't think it would count as whether or not I used internet I'd still be paying for it.

Emperors Club VIP

Defunct 2008 according to wiki. It might be time to end that subscription.

Work pays for my internet, and my cable TV during sports season (I cancel it during the summers), so pretty much all I pay for it Netflix. I canceled XboxLive last month.

Living in an undeserved segment of society has it's downsides, I pay $90/month just for basic internet connectivity.

 

[Zelig]

Monthly:

Internet: $0 (Shaw DOCSIS 3.0 cable, included in rent, speed is 50/3 Mbps, regular price is $80/m)
Xbox Music: $8.33 (Though I pay yearly)
Nokia MixRadio+: $4
Xbox Live Gold: $0 (No idea what this actually goes for, I've always had it covered by free giveaways, deals where I had gift certificates, etc.)
Phone: $50 (Bellus network, unlimited nationwide calling, 5GB LTE)
Sirius Sat Radio: $6.25/m (Includes car radio and internet streaming)

So $69/m out of my pocket, including $19/m for three separate music services.

I'd never watch anything with commercials, so I have no interest in pay for television.

Netflix (and other video streaming services) have garbage selection, so also no real interest in them. Plus I'd feel guilty about supporting anything that helps to fund fees to the MPAA and film/tv copyright lobbyists, like I already do with music/CRIA/RIAA.

Probably another $100/m if you count sales on Steam/XBL/PSN, I don't think the distinction between subscription fees and regular non-subscription sales is particularly meaningful.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Internet itself, Netflix, Big Fish Games, Photobucket premium subscription, premium subscriptions to a couple of graphics sites. DeviantArt lapsed, so I should think about renewing. I have a lifetime premium membership at LibraryThing.

Internet, cell phone, and a subscription to Time magazine.

 

[Mise]

TV Licence (compulsory tax on TVs): £145.50 per year = £12.13 p/m
Phone line rental: £114 p/a = £9.50 p/m
Internet (20mbit / unlimited): £42 p/a = £3.50 p/m
Mobile phone (4G / 1Gb): £120 p/a = £10 p/m
Xbox Live: £30 p/a = £2.50 p/m
Netflix: £84 p/a = £7 p/m

TOTAL: £535.50 p/a = £44.63 p/m


Can't think of anything else.

 

[Masada]

Internet - $80/m, 1.5mb/s, 100gb cap.
Netlix - $10/m.
Digital magazines - $40/m.

 

[CuddlyBear]

Internet: 39 €/month
NHL Gamecenter: 15 or 20$/month, don't remember, and I've cancelled my subscription for the summer
TV tax: don't remember the yearly sum but it's absolutely ridiculous cus I don't even have a bloody TV! #¤%#¤%# government! "#¤%"#¤

 

[Zelig]

Internet - $80/m, 1.5mb/s, 100gb cap.

Wow, I'd have a tough time with that, is that a satellite connection?

My internet is the same cost but 30x faster and no cap:

 

[Masada]

Australia, enough said. NBN fixes the speed problem but it still capped... and more expensive.

EDIT: Optus offers a much better NBN deal. $115/month unlimited.

 

[warpus]

Internet, home phone, cable bundle for about $205 a month. The home phone came in a package that lowered my monthly rate, I don't really use it. The cable I need for HD soccer. If I was able to access HD soccer for the top leagues and competitions I wouldn't get cable at all.

 

[Kennigit]

$40/mo: Internet, get ~35 Mb/s
$0 Netflix- use my parent's account, used to have my own for a few months. That's $10/mo.
$50/year: Amazon Prime. Just did a free trial and it was offered 1/2 off (normally $99) for a year subscription.
my phone is currently on my parent's plan, will break off that probably by the end of 2014.

that's all that I can think of. Right now is a bit situational since I am using my parent's cable package to watch the World Cup online (maybe 480p or 720p). They'll get rid of their cable by the end of 2014 though.

edit: though iirc univision was giving free streaming online

 

[Farm Boy]

DSL + unlimited domestic calling ~300kB/s, about $75 month.
Netflix ~$10 per month.
Library taxes built into the rent I suppose. That's much of the remainder.

 

[Smellincoffee]

I have a subcription to Popular Mechanics because they had a $10 for 2 years offer, but that's about it. I don't like monthly liabilities -- that's the reason I use a prepaid phone.

I also pay a ridiculous amount to the phone company for DSL.
