I'm on ATT DSL at a premium level, its an extra $5 or $10 a month. I'm pretty sure that my download speed would be acceptable for video. I'm also usually slow to accept change. I still pay 99% of my bills by mail.
Suddenlink (cable) annoys me with their semi-annual , or so it seems, rate hikes. I've got their expanded basic service, one movie tier (not first run) and a DVR and am paying $100 with the latest increase. Just seems to me that there are better ways. DISH advertising looks tempting too. We don't often loose cable service, but a co-worker says that his DISH is pretty reliable. But as I say I'm hesitant to change, will the new be any better/different? Anyway, just ramblin out loud. I know that there are options for internet access too.
