My cable provider charges 173 euro per year (14 euro/month) for basic digital TV. I also can't stand watch all those commercials, so I took the subscription (see televisie.telenet.be for the movie channels and most of the optional channels for 29 euro/month. These channels are provided via regular DVB-C at up to 8mb/s MPEG2.
The video on demand is provided via a CableModem (which is also used for the interactive TV features, like taking part in TV quizes and tv-voting), but the bitrate is relatively low (I think 2 mb/s MPEG2), but it works. The bandwidth used for the video on demand is not charged, but they charge between 2 and 4 euro per program for most programs, or you can take a subscription if you watch a lot of video-on-demand. Newsprograms via video-on-demand are free.
HD should come next year.
BTW: We have a very good cable network. My current subscription is for a 20 mbit/s connection.
