    I ordered the hookup early this year (2/09) there abouts. I bundled Phone/Cable and
    8.0 MBPS IP. Speed of internet is very good. An ARRIN smart modem and a cable box
    was installed along with a cable line. Got the whole deal for ~110 mo. Which is half what
    I was paying for AT&T DSL at 3.0 MBPS and this was without long distance
    phone service and cable. This deal allowed me to drop DISH network and
    the AT&T landline. In these difficult financial times , this was th only intelligent
    option. After some initial startup troubles which were minor in scope the service
    came up nicely. Customer service is quite good also . I would not hesitate to recommend
    this provider. This is an update to my review of WOW. It's been about 5 months and I
    am still quite happy with WOW internet/phone/cable. During this time I have had 1 outage
    lasting less then 4 hours. This was rectified quickly and the phone support people knew
    about it. I am not upset about this temporary outage though speed is not as it was before
    the outage. It's getting better day by day speedwise. I still think WOW is great.

    Huh

    Completely opposite view on costumer service

    I love WOW, and have been a costumer for around 4 years now. However, I can state with absolute confidence that I've never met an intelligent costumer service rep in all my calls to them. I've had several issues once in a while, and after the first call I realized that I would basically need to get a tech out to get anything done.

    The costumer service reps have a sheet of paper in front of them, with a list of questions that they run down when you describe a particular problem. Often times these questions have only a vague connection to the problem (For example, I had a problem with latency. They asked me to ipconfig, which was useless, as I already knew the information required.)

    I've found that if you truly need help, call in and describe the problem, then ask for a tech to come to your house as soon as possible.
