We are in the process of purchasing a CYV in the north end. Spectrum and Centruy Link is available as is Satellite. We like to be able to watch the tube when it rains so it’s either Spectrum or Century Link. Looks as though Century link is a better deal by about $18 per month for TV/internet. Spectrum charges extra for a DVR CenturyLink does not. I was quoted $100 plus taxes and fees from Century link. In my opinion all the TV/internet/phone providers are holding holding us up without a gun.

It’s no different in Rhode Island where I’m from you have Cox Communications or Fios from Verizon. After the initial 2 year contract they raise their rates. I left Fios because Cox offered a more competitive price. In another year from now when Cox raises the rate I’ll migrate back to FIOS, I’m sure they’l offer me a special new customer rate.
