My wife and I will be relocating to Greenville (Parkins Mill area) and will be looking for cable TV and high speed internet options. Seems I can choose between Spectrum and AT&T. Is this correct? I am not looking for a dish option.... Curious as to others experience with either. I have seen some posts on this topic, but they were a few years old now. Thank you!
I moved into the area end of September (off Woodruff Road), and chose Spectrum internet (200MBPS plan). Good speed, affordable. I dislike AT&T because of experiences in the past and won't do business with them. Last I checked I think I was getting 186MBPS on my Apple TV (better than what I was getting in Illinois with an XFinity high-speed plan), and I can surf the internet or download files on my laptop while streaming a movie or TV show with absolutely no performance hit. Can't speak to their TV offerings because I'm a cable cutter and only have internet with them. DirecTV is also an option in the area, if you want to go that route.
Internet options are Charter/Spectrum and AT&T
My street has fiber/FTTP with AT&T - I have the 1000/1000 plan - the upload speed is great
I have Direct TV and it's superior to Charter/Spectrum (my opinion only) - has Spectrum finally updated their guide?

No, the Spectrum guide is still something out of the 1990s.
I just today am now a cord cutter. Could not stand Charter any longer, although I am still using their Internet. Will be saving about $100 a month using a combo of You Tube TV and Philo.
While Charter/Spectrum is sometimes unreliable they are the best option. Many that have tried AT&T were not happy. I only have internet from Charter. I will never be able to afford cable tv again.

Great combo! Covers almost everything you'll want to watch.

Exactly. Kept looking for a one size fits all but none really fit the bill. I really like YTTV and Philo fit perfectly for the things that it was missing. $56 for both isn't too bad. YTTV was also the only streaming service that had all of the locals from the Upstate (and Asheville).
Philo's a new one to me - I signed up for a trial. They don't have any sports channels, which will be a problem for fans. Also, they only have BBC News and Big News (whatever that is) for news coverage. Their price is great, but the lack of news coverage is a deal breaker for me. I think I'll stick with PS Vue for now.
