With cable TV out here, I receive a worse picture than I do over air in MN. My broadband speeds are so slow I can't play online, and I'm usually going at 128kbps. As opposed to 512kbps-1mbps average with Comcast.
Also, if you want to avoid all this equipment hassle, it's a pain. They gave me a digital cable box this time, because they now offer music streaming and remote-controlled PPV stations for basic cable. I told them I don't want it, but then I would lose the $15 off for 3 months on my internet, $15 off for 6 months for cable, and half off installation fees. Get this, they charge $50 for a self-installation of the internet! Using my own cable modem, calling the cable company to give them my MAC address to activate the modem and everything else. All they did was split the cable line (something I actually have the equipment to do myself) and screw it into the cable modem. For $50!!! Give me a break.
So right now, I have horrible service, a cable box I need to store for 6 months, and an outstanding bill from a year ago pop up out of no where.
