I previously had Northland Cable, the triple play. I found the customer
service and technology way below standards. I currently have embarq
10mbps which speed tests pretty close to the full 10mbps. I
contemplated on going back to Northland but see that the reviews have
not changed and after going in to the office their prices are still
outrageous. They are now using tivo boxes as their hddvr boxes with an
additional $17.00 per month per box and you don't own the equipment
after it is paid for. If you have cable through them and use the tivo
you have to purchase their slow internet speeds which max at 6mbps
download and 1mbps upload (upload is descent if it in fact runs at that
speed. I want verizons new fiber service or comcast 100mbps yes that is
correct 100mbps download. Guess here in old Greenwood we will continue
to stay behind the times and pay the same rates for less than city
standard speeds.

Yep I have been stuck with Northland because it's the only internet(BB) provider in this area.But AT&T ran fiber optic through our neighborhood last Christmas week but still no start up date when it's gonna be up and running.They were nice enough to put an orange connector in my yard,but for now I'm just waiting.You are right about them being overpriced and years behind other cable systems even if they do have a so called fiber optic ran on the main highway.Gosh here it is 2010 and their analog picture quality is no better than when I had them twenty years ago!
