The 35Mbps/35Mbps with the "Ultimate" TV package (all channels)
is $90 a month.

My 15Mbps/2Mbps with all the standard channels + HD (no pay channels) with
Comcast is $77 a month.  I have everything on promos and have no cable
boxes.  I use a cable card, which is free and have (3) tuners on it using
the HDHomerun Prime.  Each TV has a computer attached to it using HDMI and
an infrared remote using Windows Media Center and XBMC.  Basically, I'm
using PCs as a cable box on steroids.

Not only is it a very cool solution and works very well, it saves money as a bonus.
