I thought I'd better start a new thread about Internet service since my other thread was titled HDTV antenna.

I'm probably going to change Inernet providers once I cut the cable TV. Charter's going to want to gouge me I know.

What Internet provider is a good one when it's the only service you're getting from that provider? With Charter I know I get a break in the price since I "bundle" TV, phone and Internet. I just want Internet.....and a reliable Internet......but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pay a premium to get good service.

Any suggestions?

Bumping this up.......I want ya'lls advice!! Is there a good Internet provider that's dependable? I've gotten to where I check things out forever before deciding on something! Same thing I used to roll my eyes at my parents for doing......

I didn't want to make you feel all alone! WOW is my internet provider but it is bundled with my phone. I did have the cable on it but I have Directv. I pay about $60 for the phone and internet. It's high speed and the phone has all the bells and whistles.

My advice would be worthless, since I'm not exactly in your neck of the woods! I was on dial-up for years, but recently FairPoint upgraded their system so that DSL is available out here in the sticks. I bundled my phone (yes, it's a land line) with my internet through FairPoint in January, and I haven't had ANY problems, not even two minutes. So far.

Hope you get some input from somebody in your area--I know they're all inside with their computers, because it's too hot down there to be outside.

What are your options where you live? It is so regional. We only have choices here of Comcast (cable) or Verizon (dsl and Fios). I think you can also get satellite internet, but I understand that is very pricey.

By me, we only get Comcast or ATT. I would NEVER use comcast again even if it was free!!! They provide the worst service and rape you on the prices!! We had the bundle package, and it was horrible!! Price was over 100.00, and tv went out more than it was working!! We just did internet with them for awhile and we constantly were loosing connection. URGGGH!!
