Help - Frontier & Comcast both messed me up -- (Osprey: house, prices)

[ghtix]

Long story but now without any phone, internet or tv at home - typing this on my phone from a store. What is the best way to get home phone, internet & tv service? TV affected too
Will find another hot spot later to check any responses. Thx.

Are these the only 2 providers in this area? Osprey.

Check the superpages, other telecoms out there but it seems they are business telecom providers. If they do Home, I’m guessing it won’t be same or cheaper. Likely more. Check with ATT to see if they are coming into the market soon with their U-Verse.

Depends on where your house is. Charter also services some areas around here. But typically you'd only have 2 choices, so you probably need to drag your butt back to either Frontier or Comcast if that's your two providers.

Could go with satellite for TV - Dish or DirecTV. I think they also offer internet, but probably not at as high a speed as cable. Not sure about phone service with them if you need a home phone line.

We had Frontier, who was going to increase prices significantly. Comcast gave us better pricing, but they were a total nightmare - too many problems to list here with everything - phone, TV & internet. We contacted Frontier again and got much better pricing (it seems to vary depending on who you talk to) so we went back to Frontier. The last 2 Frontier reps. I spoke with were the most helpful and the last one told me to contact her (she gave me her rep. line with extension) in a few days to discuss even better pricing. So overall they are the lesser of the 2 "evils" at this time. They are the only two providers in this area at this time. We don't want to separate services or get a satellite dish. Conclusion: Based on our experiences, avoid Comcast / Xfinity like the plague.
