Well got my new cable service
- Thread starter Mr Bogus
- Start date
I just got rid of "the dish" what I did not like is it quitting when you need it most (bad weather) plus they took it upon themselves to tack on $14 a month in new services that I did not order (well sir you had to tell us NOT TO add them...
)
plus they wanted more money for HD programing (already spending $56 a month with them)

I wish Verizon was in KC; we need the competition! Ma Bell, now AT&T, serves greater KC. However, where I live it's served by Embarq. Time-Warner is one of the Cable providers - at least I can get 15Mbps RoadRunner! (Not as fast as the 30Mbps FiOS, but I guess it will suffice for now...)
I backed my service down from 50/5 to 5/2 (down/up) with little appreciable difference.. There are a few instances where there appears to be some difference but as a rule, I rarely see over 2.0 on the downleg anyway so figured why pay for it..
You might have a different experience but most of the servers I have used appear throttled to about 1.5mps or so.. I can not even access my own servers at much above that (and they are on 100mps pipes) because of the routing goes through throttled networks..
I wish I could get service for $58/month. Where I'm at they only have comcast $130/month for DVR and HD channels
is actually $43 but I have to pay $5 for std set top box and $10 for the HiDef box (Fios tv requires tuner boxes for each set regardless of set)I wish I could get service for $58/month. Where I'm at they only have comcast $130/month for DVR and HD channels
