Charter internet installation fees outrageous?

Hi, my boyfriend and I are looking into getting high speed internet. We keep getting ads for Charter's $29.99 each when you bundle cable, internet and phone. Well we aren't really interested in cable because we feel there really isn't anything worth watching. Also, we have no need for home phone, since we both have our cell phones. But my boyfriend wants a good connection so we can have netflix and stuff like that. So he called up Charter to inquire about it and got quoted approximately $160. $40 of it being the first months bill, I believe. Then $120 for the router and installation/service fees. This seems a bit high to me. Is this accurate? Does it have anything to do with the fact that they are no contract? We live in Oregon, if that matters.
