like talking to a brick wall. Will not give a straight answer to a straight question.
Want to charge me 2 installation fees for basically dropping off a modem and connecting a phone to the wall.

we moved into a new house on a new street, back in November. two weeks ago, after three months of pleading with them, they started laying the cable down our street. but then they went away and never came back to finish the job.
we've gone four months without cable or internet service.

I can live without the cable but the internet??? No way!!! I'd have to get satellite or dish or something or lay the cables myself!

i've learned that you can get a surprising amount of internet junk done on a smart phone.

we've been doing that too.
$20 per phone, per month, 2GB limit.
it's slow and temperamental.
less than ideal.

I can do it with no problems: 70 CHF per month, enough bandwith to stream movies and youtube videos. And No GB limit...

We dropped them 2 years ago and it was good riddance!...horrible service. I pay a little more with the new system, but the signal quality and equipment upgrades are worth it.

Which company are you using? Whilst the customer service is awful and the costs ridiculous I have to say that it has worked quite well.

Using DirecTV. The introductory offer is really good. Afterwards, they are quite a bit higher than TWC, but the channel offerings are better, and the signal is much better. With TWC, my HD channels would oftern stutter or just black out.

Thanks: going to start with internet and use Hulu/Netflix - see how that goes.
