Well after my Time Warner internet going up and down through the day, and the TV quality changing from month to month and station to station, Which I had the same problem with Comcast , they always blamed the signal strength and would come out and fix it only to have it happen a few months later and the fact that Comcast still does my phones and sent me a letter saying they no longer do phones in my area and I need to switch to another phone carrier I decided to go ahead and switch to Werizon. My only issue was having to be in a contract because I was thinking about moving in the future but Verizon told me it was free to move my service from one house to another and if my new area did not support Verizon then there would be no charge to cancel the contract early. For internet, TV, and 2 phone lines its about $10-$20 cheaper than Time Warner and the telephone sales lady gave me another $20 off per month for the first year as a added value plus I now get unlimited long distance on both lines which is nice since my wife uses long distance and we have been using cell phones or phone cards even though we had MCI for long distance on our Comcast lines and I am getting a few extra movie channels . There TV setup was a little different than most. Movies where $12.95 a month and includes Starz, Cinemax, and something else I cant remember but to get HBO it was separate and a cost of $15.00. And the fact that Time Warner just changed there channel line up and all my channel number are different numbers than what they have been for the last 4 years so its a pain having to search for the channels you liked watching on a regular basis until you remember the new channels. So all in all it sounds like a good deal. IF the install goes well next week, which I am not counting on but hey it could happen I should be a happy camper.
