  We have Cogeco for all three.  All told, for internet (highest speed), TV (Cable, with digital cable on one TV, with the a la carte option), and phone, we pay about $150 per month (ugh, makes me cringe to type that).
  
  We had some serious issues with getting Cogeco to fix hardware issues.  We have a very long driveway (over 200 feet) and Cogeco's lines were not buried very deep.  What ended up happening was that the lines became exposed, and when the ground froze and thawed, the ground would heave, and we would lose signal.  It took them TWO YEARS to fix the issue, with many, many service calls with no solution, until I talked to the area manager, who had it fixed within two weeks.
  
  Yes, not the end of the world, but frustrating, as they had told us many times it was fixed, and it wasn't.  As long as you don't need a really long line run to the house, or anything like that, they're fabulous, and we love the service.  Their "regular" house-call techs are wonderful, helpful and polite though!

  DH and I both have corporate plans for our phones - mine through Bell, his through Rogers, but our internet and cable is through Rogers.  We don't have a home phone.  We pay $130/month.

  Rogers for my cell phone (with data plan), internet and TV. DH's cell phone is through Telus (with data plan). We don't have a land line.
  
  Our cable is included in our condo maintenance fees. The rest of the Rogers bill is about $110/mo and I think DH's Telus bill is about $50/mo.

  Bell.  I'll be switching to Rogers in the near future.  I like Rogers channels better and the On Demand feature can't be beat.

  Bell for TV, internet, and home phone.
  
  Bell for my cell phone, Rogers for my FI's (work plan).
  
  We've heard good things about Teksavvy though and are planning to switch.  Just haven't gotten around to it, and I need to look into this new lawsuit that just got resolved to see what (if any) impact that has on our decision.

  - Telus for cellphone, $35/mth (negotiated retention plan, no home phone)
  - Teksavvy for internet, $40/mth (unlimited plan because we are heavy users)
  - OTA HD for tv, FREE.  We have an antenna on our roof and get better HD picture quality than bell and rogers wants to sell us.
  
  We also pay $6 a month for a zip.ca membership for blu-ray movies.
  
  Bell and rogers can kiss my butt.  ESPECIALLY bell, but also rogers.  I could rant about the CRTC, duopolies and the poor business practices of these 2 companies for hours.
