Who can give me some opinion about the contract of internet + cable TV + Phone?

Is it better sign a cantract with a single company or share the contract between more companies.

Some tips about the best company, the best services and the best bugs (things that really do not work well as the company promise).

Thank you

Ezio VECCHI

Do you know what providers are available to you? Sometimes some providers are only in certain neighborhoods.

We have Knology for all three - they started us out fo 99 a month that turned out to be more like 130 a month with two dvrs. The DVR hardware/software is terrible if you are used to Direct TV or Tivo. We just got a notice that out service is going up to 120 for the base and that the free stars that they gave us for the first 6 months is now offered at a 50% discount. By the way they took it upon themselves to add the discounted stars to our bill without asking us first.

We'll keep the phone and internet but we'll get DirecTV.

You can use AT&T to bundle everything. Internet, Home phone, Cell, and Directv. I have my internet, home, and cell through them. I have Directv, but in order to get it bundled with everything else, you need to sign up through AT&T.

I just dropped Knology Cable as well. It was horrible. I kept the phone and internet though. I moved my TV over to DISH and I love it.

FYI, on AT&T. They have the slowest "broadband" available. Their DSL average DL speeds are around 2Mb where as Knology base service is around 6-7Mb.

You are correct, I am sorry for calling out the wrong company. The following data is for Huntsville off of speedtest.net. These are aggregates of all the speed tests done by users off of their respective systems.

12.5 Mb - Comcast
8.4 Mb - Century Tel
7.9 Mb - MediaCom
5.6 Mb - AT&T
5.2 Mb - Knology
5.2 Mb - Traveller
4.1 Mb - Verizon
3.7 Mb - Cox
2.7 Mb - Bellsouth.net
2.7 Mb - API Digital
