We left Cox and went to DirecTV when they demanded $10 to change my wife's
name on the account from her maiden name to married name. Who cares? We left
it in her maiden name before cancelling. They didn't offer to pay us $10
when they changed their name from Tucson Cablevision.
Father Ted is indeed worth the price. Its a shame Dermot Morgan died a few
years ago.

I've had no problems with my connection since cox figured out that my
cable didn't belong to the neighbor and keep disconnecting it, and it's been
especially good since they started their own internet business rather than
having @home employees and cox employees stepping on each others toes.
What has sucked for me is the actual cable server... so I just switched to
DirecTV and I won't ever go back... it's so much better that cable would be
if the signal was perfect.

The original cable company for my home was a mom and pop bare bones
company.Cox bought them out and just last month hooked up my internet. I've
had nothing but problems with the connection. Just last Friday my connection
was lost 12 times in an hour and a half. I didn't know I knew that many bad
words! Cox claims there is no problem but for $50 they'll come out and
look...I'll learn to live with it for now.
As for Directv. We've had it for seven years now and we would never change
back to cable. We get better channel selection (BBCA and all sorts of music
only channels among other usual channels) much clearer reception and instant
customer service if we want to change our programming as we usually do in
the summer. We've lost reception only a couple of times in a bad storm. The
one drawback is that we can't record one channel and watch another, but I
believe newer satellite systems can do that. Ours is a Sony, 7 years old and
used a lot, no repairs/maintainance.
If you've never seen BBC America, you have no idea what you're missing.
Father Ted alone is worth the price of a satellite dish.
