Anybody have suggestions for alternatives?

Verizon FiOS is supposed to be a good deal if you need phone, cable TV and Internet all together.

I would suggest Vonage...I have it and it works fine. Except you have Concast, which must run their internets off of rusty wires. Good luck! I'd say go with the Verizion Fios if you can get it.

Come on over to FIOS if available in your neighborhood.

Guy from Comcast called back after I asked how it was to cutoff all my Comcast stuff and to switch to Verizon FIOS.

The guy said he would continued the promotional account for another year and refunded the price hike. I'm staying now.

I wish telephone companies wouldn't play these rate hike games. Seems like they hike the rates to see if anybody is paying attention and then wait to see if anybody complains. Those that complain get adjusted rates and those that don't pay the new rate.

Call your telephone company and tell them you are getting ready to switch, see if they lower your rate or give some extras.
