I have used all levels of the service and have currently scaled back to just standard cable with my own Tivo. Their DVR is OK but the tuner part was superb as the pictures were excellent on standard definition. I also have their phone service and its been great. The internet service is the part I'm disappointed in as I am not a guzzler but I am on quite a lot. The HDTV selection is very low in fact more than half the selection is available over the air. Cost is a factor after the six months is up: no frills cable is over $46, phone is $32, internet is $32. It's cheaper to get satellite and Qwest back...go figure! Better channel selection and the DSL is rock solid as well as reasonably fast with a better consistency rate.

Got a price increase notice and pulled the plug on the whole thing. No more cale tv, cable internet and cable voip. Got direct tv, ported my number to a third line with AT&T and use it for data at the house as well. What you say... you can do that? Yes, if you use a data plan of anykind you can either back door it using things like Motorola Phone Tools which hop you right on the data network by clicking a button or you can get a 3G wifi router. My Tivo and Direct TV dvrs pull data down just fine and the family cruises the internet no problems. That being said, I wont be doing any file sharing soon. I could always borrow the neighbors if I really needed but people dont realize that cell phone companies are gearing up their networks to take away business from the cable cos.
