I think you all need to move to Clear Lake where we have local provider CL Tel. Sraight forward business that tells it like it is. No contracts, no hidden fees or installation charges, no surprise modem fees. Over two hundred channels, always have the Hawkeye games and if you can believe it if you have a problem you call and get a live person on the phone who speaks perfect English and you don't get put on hold. Sometimes maintenance people are there and they'll connect you with them. You might get put on hold for no more than 30 seconds. If they need to they will come and fix your problem the same day usually within an hour. I pay $150.00 a month for cable, dvr, high speed internet and a land line with 500 minutes free long distance. I don't work for them but I am so appreciative of there service and not having problems with digitizing and blackouts like I had with Direct tv and Mediascum. If anybody who posts here lives in Clear Lake I encourage them to check it out.
