Re: If you have a choice, choose cable.

Everyone watches cable TV, right? So why not make a "too good to refuse" combo package?
Thats a big assumption, which is wrong. I have Dish, cheaper and more channels. Once I got rid of cable internet, cable TV went with it. Paying almost 60 bucks for cable TV and another 30 for cable. Dish is cheaper and DSL is same with rock solid bandwidth, no more wondering what my speed will be when I surf, 4000kps 1 minute, 200kps the next. No thanks .

  I, obviously, have had better luck with cable than most and a better deal (under $60 bucks for both internet and tv-60 or so channels). Downstream has always been consistently around 3mbps. I must be blessed to be on a low-traffic node. Just do what I do, if you get cable, tell everyone its horrible, so they won't get it and use up YOUR bandwidth. I had Dish but it kept blacking out and I wanted my local channels. It was late when I made that post last night, so forgive my assumptions. One thing I know for sure, from experience as a gamer, DSL is superior when it comes to latency but if raw speed is what you crave, cable is the way to go.
