Well...imagine my surprise when, after 4 phone calls and three different sales people, I find out that we can NOT get Spectrum at our address because we are in Comcast's territory!!! Am I the only person living in TV that didn't know these two companies have a "no compete" policy which means I HAVE NO CHOICE!! I am REALLY angry about this. The satellite companies can compete until we are all nauseated but you only have ONE choice for cable and that is dictated by your street address!! I like to have a choice - I detest having the choice taken away!!

I agree, but I do have Spectrum & their Internet service, I've been with them for about 5 yrs. now & it cost me $160.76 a month now. Guess I can't complain because like dish they advertise their service for something like $19.99 a month for 12 months, but they don't tell you how much it'll cost on the 13th month. I'm sure after 2 or 3 yrs. it'll be just as high as mine & everyone else's. Also I always have to shake my head when I say TV isn't as cheap as a lot of people keep saying it is here. I always thought TV made life easier for their residents, but it seems like they cater to the vendors in TV. Don't take me wrong, I like TV but it's not what you think when you first move here. After living here for a while you really find out it's not all that cheap to live here. Sometimes I think it's catered to all the vendors that want to overcharge everyone for their services, & they do overcharge! Anyway, to answer your question about Spectrum, it really doesn't make any difference what service you get, they're like the old Quaker State Oil saying, "Pay me now or pay me later".
