Im moving into my own place come April 1 (yay!!!!) and in THIS house we pay over $100 a month between Comcast TV cable and high speed internet. What do you guys use? It looks like all these units have satellite dishes on them so I will ask about that...but satellite is not a good way to get internet. Is there a cheaper way to get both?
Im in S. Florida.
Hi Wuz...my experience has been that most of the services end up being the same price after their "sign up" specials end. You might want to check and see if Verizon Fios is available in your area. It offers a nice combo of phone, TV and high speed interenet for around $100...I have found it to be very fast and reliable. Good hunting!
$10 dial up internet.
Thats per month unlimited!!
I've found DSL to be the cheapest. DSL has different levels of speed with lower price points.
You can get "Naked DSL" in some areas. This means, Internet, but no telephone service, over a telephone line. It can be as cheap as $25 or so and plenty fast.
In my part of S Florida, Comcast is the way to go. It beats the pants off of DSL.

Don't know about you, but I had Comcast which later became Time Warner. The internet was a cable modem. It was always having problems. There were days it didn't work all day until night time. Switched to Verizon FIOS and it's only been out (that I know of) once for a few minutes. Great service!
I think Time Warner was about $5 more expensive then Verizon.
Sometimes communities or apartment complexes will have Wi-Fi. If you're getting full bandwidth, the Wi-Fi won't be the bottleneck either.
if you can get verizon fios there really is no other option......... its the best out there. unfortunately its in limited cities, i know tampa has it, but im not sure about s florida. btw as you probably already know...... BRIGHTHOUSE sucks.
Don't use satellite service for Internet access. The latency is horrific.
