What internet connection/service do you use?

[Stephen]

Actually, there is a cable company in my area literally called "Wow"

LOL.

but the quality of their service is pretty decent (around here atleast)

From what I've heard the quality of Comcast depends on where you are.

I've read complaints on the internet from every square inch of this country about Comcast. It's nothing short of a miracle if Comcast is any better in your area.

Yeah, I certainly cant complain with the quality in this area, and the High-Def is amazing.

Like I said its nothing short of a miracle then. I've read bad reports country wide about Comcast.

[G2003]

I must be very very lucky then. We rarely get outages here. Usually there is one outage every 2 years.

[lfmusiclover]

No, your not lucky. That's more than just luck. That's a godly miracle.

[G2003]

I think it really depends on your headend.

[lfmusiclover]

I have to disagree. I don't know what it depends on for sure, but I really don't think its that.

Gil's right.  The HD is superb.

I HATE Comcast's analog cable.  They constantly take away channels.  Comcast is good, only when there are NO PROBLEMS.  Once you have a problem, it's like pulling teeth trying to fix it.  I had static last year on every channel, and it took em two weeks to fix it (had to replace a line amplifier)

The townships have no right to only allow one cable provider in an area, IMO

Yes, the HD is like being in heaven. :angel: Personally, I've never had Comcast's analog cable, but i do know they've been changing around some of their Basic lineup for the ffirst time since (i assume) TCI or AT&T in the late 90s.

I agree. I'll never live anywhere where they tell me who I have to subscribe to.

[G2003]

Its unacceptable that we have NO choice, other than Cable or Satellite! Where is the competition?!?! I'm going to start a cable company...

[Concentric Eyewall]

For the record, how many cable providers do you guys have available in your area?

Gil, I remember TCI!! They're so ancient.  Although, I never had them (had DirecTv)

[lfmusiclover]

LIke I said earlier, we now have Verizon's FIOS service as a third choice in this area, but I'd still like to see more competititon. And I'd also like to see stricter regulation of the industry.

2 cable providers here-Comcast and Verizon.
