May not be the greatest, but I chose Comcast.

I added Time Warner to the list and voted for them! I've been on RoadRunner for two years and you would have to pry it from my cold dead hands :-)

I have Cox now, but I used to have Charter in Sedalia. I prefer them, but I didn't see that choice until I had voted for Cox. Oh well! :lol:

Well, what if you are one of those rednecks who live out in the sticks and don't have cable (too far for the cable companies to drive) and too cheap for satellite (because it isn't worth the money)?

We have none of the above. We are stuck with the over priced Cableone company. I have heard that either Charter or Cox Communications is going to buyout Cableone. Hope it is true and that Charter takes it over. :wink:

Our cable (as well as my cable modem) is provided by Mediacom, and I have no problems here :)

I don't understand. Are you talking about TV cable or internet cable. If it's tv cable, you don't get a choice, do you? I thought that tv cable was a franchise for a specific geographic area. If it's internet cable, that could be different. In my case, our local tv cable is digital with internet cable over the same lines. Ours is a regional company that doesn't show up on the radar screen. Service is good but a little pricey. We pay about $110 a month for expanded basic service on 4 tv's (no HBO, Showtime or Skinimax) and one computer.

I've had Comcast since I moved to Florida in July 2000. (Finally) got Comcast High Speed Internet on November 1, 2002. I have had no problems with either, so I have no way of knowing if Time Warner and the others are better or worse.

I used to have Time Warner, then MediaOne for some time when in living Massachusetts. MediaOne merged with AT&T Broadband, then Comcast and AT&T Broadband merged in December (2002). As far as I know they are going to just be called Comcast, without AT&T in the name.

Another bit of information... I read that most Michigan residents have Comcast Cable. Also, MediaOne/AT&T becoming Comcast, very many cities and towns in Massachusetts who had AT&T Broadband now are Comcast subscribers

I fully agree Marshall!!! Not that I had a choice of cable companies in my area though. I just knew I didn't want satellite with the probs it has when it rains or storms.
