Default Comcast Alternative

I presently have Comcast for my TV, computer and phone. I used them because I rent my home for a few months and property management company said I needed to have a land phone for tenants use mainly to access 911. My experience with Comcast has not been good as I have problems with them from the start. I would really like to go to Direct TV but I need a provider for computer and land phone. I live in the village of Buttonwood and when I called Direct TV they said they could not offer me a bundle like I have with Comcast at the present time.

Can anyone recommend a provider for phone service and computer service other than Comcast? Appreciate all replies.

If you're comparing Comcast services (both customer service and service delivery) with FIOS or Cablevision in the NE, you'll likely be disappointed. Keep in mind that the "other" folks providing cable services in this area may not live up to your expectations either. Bright House seems to have the most promise if it's available to you (South of 466A). In the last five years my sister has gone full circle from Comcast to Direct TV, to Prism, and they're about ready to start over again with Comcast. The cable experience in Central FL is less than perfect.

Good luck!

Default Century Link

To answer your main question, Century Link can "bundle" phone, internet, TV (either DirecTV or Prism).
