I have Comcast triple play which includes computer, VoIP and TV.

I now have Spectrum with the similar package.Â* Waiting for the repair
guy right now, in fact.Â* Moved here 27 days ago and this is the 4th (and
last) service call.

The Caller ID on the TV shows 6 calls today that did not go through.Â* If
not fixed this time, my next call will be to Frontier.

Overall, Spectrum sucks.Â* I can only record two things at one time and
have to watch one.Â* It can not be played in another room once recorded.
The internet speeds are good, everything else sucks.

I have a great Comcast system for 2 years for about $200/month which
includes all the movie channels like HBO, Showtime, and Starz and
Netflix, all extended basic channels and top tier internet. Download
speeds capable of a gig per minute although best I measured was 500. I
have their X1 system with main unit and satellite box on another set
where you can DVR up to maybe 6 shows at a time watching another. I
have sets in 3 other rooms with HD tuner. X1 system has voice command
where you can just mention a channel name and it will tune to it. I
hope I can renegotiate and retain it in 2 years.

Since we have both Comcast and FIOS access in our neighborhood guy
across the street gets lowest cost 2 year deal from either and switches
back and forth between the two when he cannot maintain his deal. I
could save money but wife would not tolerate having to relearn the
different systems with a switch.

When I was a kid, all we had was a radio and a party line telephone.
Hard to believe all we have today.

I was talking to an Indian friend about this and he said when he was a
kid they had no electricity or running water. He also said things were
peaceful and calm in his village even without these things.
