For all you Sunrocket customers, don't try to call anyone. Your phone is
dead.

That's really too bad. I had hoped to port one of my numbers to them
if they ever covered my exchange. Guess I'll have to move on to
another wishful provider......


Vonage is still advertising like crazy, at least it is in this media
market (Washington, D.C. -Annapolis-Baltimore, MD). Are you in the
boonies of the Carolinas?

I had Vonage.... what a piece of crap. A large monolithic,
non-responsive, customer-no-service, disastrous nightmare.

The coastal area of NC tends to be effectively boonies because of the
population density vs. the problems of stringing cable.

I have Road Runner (which has been entirely satisfactory), but I'd be
glad to find a cheaper provider.



I feel your pain. Comcast overcharges for "high speed" internet, but the
only competition at the moment is DSL. I'm not a big fan of DSL. The
telco is advertisiing "fios," but I will be as old and gray as you,
Eisboch, and Shortpants Tom before it gets to me. Wiring...

I was thinking of dumping cable TV for satellite, but that would raise
my "high speed" internet prices because I would be unbundling it.

What's the fishing like in Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds? My *next* boat
will be trailerable, and I have a friend with a pickup that has the
balls for a towjob down there.

We have Time Warner/Road Runner for our TV cable (Premium on 2 tv's,
including HBO) and high speed internet. We were paying about $110/month. I
called them up, told them I was thinking about dropping them and the price
magically went down to $85/month.

We still have Vonage (yes, their customer service is tough to deal with) but
have had no problems with them..........the problems have always been on the
Time Warner side............what crappy service they offer.

In most markets, there is only one cable provider. It's by design. Keeps
out competition.

The difference in coverage between Lexington, SC and Woodstock, CT is
amazing.

SC gets about thirty channels we don't get in CT.

out competition.

In the Chicago market it's all Comcast cable TV and broadband. I went
for their phone service too, because they were priced as well or
better than their competitors. $148 a month total, no premium
channels. I feel something squeezing my balls. Wonder if Murdoch
owns Comcast yet. Heard the IL gov signed a bill or something that
will allow cable competition, but don't know the details.
What I want is ala carte cable. I only watch about 8 channels, none
of them sports, but millionaire athletes get a cut from me.
