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.

Re: Relocating ... soon

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.

Re: Relocating ... soon

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.

Re: Relocating ... soon

I am considering Comcast cable/DVR and ATT DSL.

Compare the prices and deals they are offering and base your decision off that

Re: Relocating ... soon

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.

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.

Dir for download from Utah »opensuse.cs.utah.edu/distribution/11.1/iso/
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.
