Alternative Cable and Internet Providers

All I can say is to avoid anything related to Comcast as though it was the harbinger of the plague. I have never in my life experienced such crappy service as from them. Twice we had cable "installed" (and paid for it even though we live in an apartment that is all wired up and all they actually do is type a few key strokes to turn it on, but whatever) and both times they charged us for the premium cable package when all we ordered was basic. Both times they refused to take the charge off until we paid it, in which case they would supposedly credit the difference to our next bill. We of course said no way in hell and just let it lapse. Total BS. Right now we have no TV and are just fine, but we're contemplating satellite when 24 comes back.

Beware the Comcast. BEWARE!!!!

I say you go with FIOS. We have it for Internet and TV. Damn nice except for a few DVR issues.

Oh, and I just heard. Evil Knievel is still dead. Bummer.

Ya don't say. Someone should start a thread about that.

Is Regan still dead?

Oh and my options are Cox cable, DirectTV or Dish Network.

I'm afraid so. Generalissimo Francisco Franco is also reported to be still dead as well.
