Basic Preferred is $99 in Omaha. That's the only Nebraska price listed.
Ya i don't know whats going on for years our bill was $ 200 and just recently its been going up more. It actually just went up another $ 3.75 .so i can upgrade to get a lwer price?

Yes, but you don't have to upgrade to get the lower price. If you just keep what you currently have, you can save even more. Go to the last website I posted and pick out the TV plan you want. Or, go to the first website and pick out a package plan (Internet, TV, and phone).
You couid add DVR service and still be less than what you're paying for Basic TV.
Basic Preferred $99 + Preferred DVR Service $20 + advanced receiver $10 (?) - the replaced mini-box $3.50 (?) = $125.50 = $15.50 less than what you're paying for Basic TV now. That assumes you have a mini-box and don't already rent a DVR compatible receiver.
There are surcharges with certain TV packages. You're probably paying them.
With Basic Preferred, you might be able to go with Essential DVR Service for $13.50. That puts your upgraded service savings at $22 per month.
If you currently have a DVR compatible receiver, your upgraded savings would be $28.50 per month. $99 Basic Preferred + $13.50 Essential DVR Service + 0 advanced receiver (already have) - $141 current Basic TV = $28.50

I think i am going to go to one of there stop offices to get this straightened out. i know were are over paying so im going to leave it up to them if they want to lower our bill with our orignal 50 deal then i will be ok with that. Other wise the way they have been to us i wouldn't feel all bad dropping them. But thanks for your help.

I took a closer look at the pricing rates in Nebraska.
We pay $290 dollars for the most basic service you offer.
$141 dollars a month for basic cable with no movie channels.
Basic Starter is $56 in Omaha. I don't believe Cox is charging you over 250% of market price. If you don't check out what Cox is offering occasionally, price creep will get you, but not by that much. You can save money, but you probably won't be able to do it and upgrade too, as I first thought, since you don't actually have the most basic service that Cox offers. The $50 deal may be your best choice, if it's still an available option.
