Does that include HBO and Cinemax?  I get extended basic service from
Coaxial with just HBO and it's over $40 per month.  Adding Cinemax 
would probably push that closer to $50.   This service may not have
as many total channels but if they added Comedy Central I would
definitely consider it just to be rid of some of the garbage that 
Coaxial calls channels.
