Relocating ... soon

I see only Comcast, DSL, DirecTV, may be my only choices.
I will really miss WOW! At least its months away ...

Time to check the other forums and find out who is second best.
And in the end I will likely have to compromise on what's affordable.

1 edit		 I'd go DirecTV. Research each option - the channels, the prices. Try ask friends or family that have them if they like the companies/service etc and base a decision from that.

1 edit		  Perhaps DirecTV ... but I would then need DSL.

I also have four TVs, one 27" HD capable, then a 32", 32", and a 15".
Cable is easier to distribute in a home.

U-Verse is unavailable right now ...

I ordered Comcast (connected and using it now) so I could test drive it.

WOW Cable said they could do the 2DVR, 1Converter, Internet and lower my bill $3 to $87. I told them thanks, but no thanks. He told me the WOW offer was good for two months, and includes a free reconnect.

3 edits		 Powerboost is not all hype.


Downloading a big file varies between 1.3M and 450K.
It seems to average around 700K but creeps up to 1.xM at times.
This was an affordable tier, not the highest.

I am not knocking WOW! which I think is great, just trying to offer factual info to other views. Some download pics to add soon.

If apples to apples test is done

Then the wave of Comcast has been continuing ...
»DOCSIS 3.0 Available in Chicago with help from Comcast Direct

This link ... is to a happy camper in IL

BTW, service has been great!
ALSO:An added bonus is McAaffee is free for all your PCs.
(If it was Norton, I would not be excited, but McAfee is decent.)

Re: Re: Relocating ... soon

In my experience, McAfee is no better than Norton. And it's only "free" if it is trouble free. McAfee was not when I used it.

WRT to Comcast vs. DirecTV: If anyone decides on Comcast over DirecTV, Comcast Internet is actually a reasonable deal. But it is too expensive as a standalone service.
