I have ended up staying with Cable (I'm on Charter) mainly because I've had much much better service out of cable internet than with DSL, I also get better speeds, currently 10 Mbps and soon upgrading to 16 Mbps. I've not seen DSL that comes close to those speeds. Once I bundled it all together with the Cable HD TV it was a better deal than Direct TV or Dish.

Thanks for the input!

Will double clicking the title bar return it to normal size?

Yes, thank goodness. That must be what I did to switch it in the first place. Thanks Gud!

Comcast is Satan in disguise,

And thinly disguised at that.

Welp, I definitely don't want to go back to DSL, and it looks like that's my only option if I choose satellite. Pooh. I have to stick with cable. I am now researching to see if Comcast is my only option...

I have Comcast, and granted I'm in a smaller market but I've had mostly good experiences. Except for the problems I had when I moved, but that turned out to be an incomptent tech and old connectors.

I know some people who had either Dish or DirectTV but kept running into problems during bad weather and things like that. I know at my last place it wasn't an option because of all the trees.

Thanks for the feedback!

Eh, I have Comcast (the triple play--modem, phone, and cable, which has worked out since I need the phone and included long distance to work from home!) and it's been fine, other than that the guys who installed it had no idea how to set it up with my TiVo, so for the longest time I had it set up the way I'd figured it out, which...didn't really work great.

Luckily, my girl's best friend used to work for them, and was over, and knew how to fix it up, and now it's all awesomeness!

Um, and when the year intro rate was over, it was more expensive and I had to call them and badger them into lowering it.

But really, since I need all three it was the best deal, and I haven't had any issues.

Ooooh, so can you remember the steps to get Tivo working correctly? I might need your coaching when the time comes.

I've pretty much decided on Comcast, though I am seriously bummed that, at least in Oakland, the Speed Channel and MLB network aren't part of the line-up. I am praying that they are, but the website hasn't been updated yet. I gotta have Speed!!

Heh. I'd have to look at the back of my TiVo and cable box to find out, java--she went back there and fiddled with it and fixed it all up, but I could look at it and let you know, assuming you end up with a box.
