We are moving to the South Riding area and after calling and researching our options for cable, internet and phone, it seems our only option is comcast. There is no FiOS where we are. Otherwise, it's one company for cable, another for internet and another for phone... of two for one and one for another...blah blah... you get my drift...

Is there anyone other than Comcast? They said it would take 2-4 to just come out and see if servicing the house is available.

Who do you use?

Here's 3 more Internet alternatives. DSL, Internet via DirecTV Satellite (HughesNet), and a cellular wifi-card though your laptop from the cell phone companies. I don't see a reason for FiOS because Comcast will provide you with the same download speeds as FiOS , and the same Tv programming. Comcast and FiOS are neck and neck.

Don't get Verizon phone because it's a ripoff; you should get Vonage or Lingo, or MagicJack for the unlimited long distance calling, voice-mail to email, simultaneous ring..etc.
