and television services in TV? We use Time Warner for all three up north and have been pleased. We have already been contacted by Comcast even though we close in late March. Thanks.

I close next week and will go with Comcast although it gripes me no end to pay that much money to watch TV. I called the three big providers (Comcast, DISH, and Direct) and told them what services I wanted, then asked for the "regular" monthly prices for those services exclusive of any short term specials. I went with the cheapest cost for the package that fitted our needs.

IMHO: Comcast for TV and Internet and Century Link for telephone. Never had a problem and am okay with the costs. ($144 and 45) respectively.

We pay $15 per month for cell phone and don't feel the need for a land line. That pushed us over to Comcast for TV, DVR and high speed. Bundling your phone service does give you other options. If you do go with Comcast, make sure you get their 6 month introductory rate. That will more than make up for their high (in my opinion) installation rates.

IF you have a cell phone or will be getting one, then I second Logdog's suggestion. Just go/stay with the cell and don't pay for a landline. This would be an excellent time to do so, since all your friends, family, etc. will have to update their contact info on you anyway.

i use comcast for all three, bundling all three brings cost down a little and the land line is what we use for 800 numbers (we have cell phones but don't like to burn those minutes for 800 numbers), we pay $100/month which includes HBO....gn

Default Telecom svs.

After comparing prices, we went with Comcast for TV and Internet. We disconnected landline phone service a few months ago at our primary residents in ATL and don't miss it. We use only cell service in TV also and have no problems with reception. (As iPhone users, we're with AT&T wireless).

If you will not be full-time residents at TV, Comcast will let you "sleep" your service(s) during months you'll be away. Some other providers do too, so be sure to ask about it if this would work for you.

Congrats on buying a home in TV!
