I get my high speed internet through cable. It is the only method here.

I also get my phone and my tv through the same service. They are very reliable even during storms etc. during hurricane Sandy my power was out for 10 days but using my generator I had all of my cable services.

Cheap....NO. But worth it.

You’re lucky. Our service is out constantly and forget credit on the bill. The wait time for repairs is three weeks out. The last big outage, we went in and hollered at them to give us the new equipment and we’d hook it up ourselves. Got the holier than thou attitude but an hour later they gave us a new monitor and cable box.

We’re too far out for any sort of antenna. We’re on an old plan with the internet and cable so that dropping down to basic would cost more. Even so, it’s too expensive. It’s all wonky because we get different channels on different tvs and there’s no menu for half of it. Pain in the backside.

Have Netflex but I’ve sat down to scroll through their menu for hours on end finding nothing to watch. Viewing recent shows from channels’ internet sites is easier.

Never ever bundle everything. When it goes out, you lose everything. We have to have cable and internet bundled but keep the phone separate. We finally gave up the landline because it got too expensive and are pleased with the less than $30/mo. Verizon thing that plugs into the wall. We’re also down to one cell phone on a $20 something/mo. plan.
