I moving to Skyline, with no satellite access. Whats the deal on Cox cable and hi speed? I am trying to figure out what my options are. I dont use landline phones so I dont need that bundle. Can anyone tell me what kind of deals or options you are getting with cable and internet...??

I get digital cable, broadband internet, and DVR through Cox. My bill is over 100 a month. Despite the bad stuff you hear on here about Cox, I've never had a problem with their service, not once. It's sorta ridiculous to spend $100+ a month for TV and internet, but I just chalk it up to the cost of living around here. I'm sure I'd check out FiOS if it were offered in my neighborhood.

If you just need cable TV, broadband, and maybe a DVR, Cox and FiOS are essentially the same price and are more or less completely reliable. Flip a coin.
