Dish, DirecTV, or Time Warner for video. Unfortunately, if you don't like TWC you're out of luck since they're the best internet option in the county.

There's only one cable service, which is TWC. IF you're open to satellite TV, there are Dish and Direct TV.

Dish is now offering internet with Windstream as a package deal in Union. TWC is still the fastest you'll find though. The marketing brochure we got from Dish/Windstream said customers may experience up to 2 mbps and we're getting 15 with TWC.

DirecTV has the NFL options, Dish does not.

We've had Direct TV and had very few issues. The service would sometimes go out during bad thunderstorms, but it was back on within 10 minutes.

On negative about DTV (and I suspect dish as well) is that once you cancel, they abandon their equipment. They will come out and install everything for free, but when you cancel, all they want back is the access card out of the receiver. We just canceled and they sent us an envelope to send the card back. We threw the rest, including the dish, away. This means that if they mount the dish on your roof, they'll leave it there. It will be up to you to get it down.

Compared to what? For which level of internet?

I pay less than that for 20 Mb. On an introductory plan you should pay ~$40/month.
