We have Mediacom Plus service.  It is a bit pricey, but we like having all the extra channels to choose from.

Our cable is through a local company. Lower prices than some of the national companies.

I have DirecTV and I think I pay too much for what i get. I think I had better channels when I had Dish.

I have had comcast for years.  I am not happy with them all of the time but for the most part they are fine.

I don't use cable.  I use one of the Satellite companies, which I am finding is not that much better.

Right now, we have Fiber Optic cable, internet and phone bundled and it is not good.  I messed up though and signed a year contract and as soon as Feb hits I will be shopping around.  My internet goes down a lot and the cable freezes up and when I live on sites like FC and others, my net goes down, I am not making money.  I don't know, Time Warner is not in our area, but from what I am hearing they soon will be.  I would like to know, though, why you are advising against that company as an option.  I am in an apartment complex that does not allow dish installations.

EVerytime we call the cable company we get quoted different prices, by one person or another, it made us so angry we went to get our internet completely somewhere else, they quoted us the same 19,95 then we went to have it turned on and tried to tell us 39.95 and they had nothing cheaper, but then a day later an advertisement for 29.95, well they lost our business since now we signed a contract somewhere else.

I'm not sure who is best but the most recent tv I had was serviced through Comcast. They don't make you sign a contract and that is right up my ally.  We currently have Blockbuster through the mail.  It's ok but getting the DVD's out one at a time is a little time consuming for the cost when you're depending on snail mail.  However I think my favorite service is our local library.  They are a part of the prarie cat system so if they don't have it they put a request in among 30+ other libraries and within 2 - 3 weeks we get however many dvd's we want and can borrow for up to 2 weeks.  FREE!

I hate cable companies...they are not loyal to the consumer...if you can give a rate to get new customers, you can offer this rate to those that have been with you for years.

We have comcast Xfinity. I don't know if it is the best as it is the only choice we have. We have the internet,phone and TV bundle.
TV and internet have been OK but the we are allways having problems with the voicemail. It doesn't bother me as I can pull up messages
online or on my cell phone. However, it drives my husband crazy.

Why bother with cable  if you live in a metropolitan area and digital TV is free? I get 25 channels free of charge and see no need for more. I could understand those in a rural area needing something they might have to buy, but it just doesn't seem important in the larger cities.

I have internet and TV with Time Warner cable.  It's the only one I've ever had and I'm not crazy about it.  They keep raising the price as the quality of the TV reception gets worse.  The sound stops and starts.  They fixed the picture so it's better but the sound problem is quite distracting.
