During my college years, I moved into West Philadelphia, University City to be precise. Once there, due to Comcast’s restriction of Comcast SportsNet, broadcaster of Phillies, Flyers and 76ers games, from satellite providers, I was forced to select a local hardwire cable service. Because West Philadelphia is Time Warner Cable’s territory, and they offered a ...
When I moved into West Philadelphia, I was forced to choose Time Warner Cable as my provider. It was not a happy decision, but it was a necessary one, because I am a big sports fan. Unfortunately, for many sports fans in the city of Philadelphia, the only way to watch most of the games ...
This new “digital phone” thing had me curious. Could I really pay regular normal monthly prices for virtually the same phone service I was already overpaying with Verizon? I decided to investigate. First, Time Warner told me that I wouldn’t have to change my phone number, because it would simply be “ported” to their digital ...
We are living in a new era. Gone are the days of one phone company holding a monopoly over a service area. They say the monopolies were broken up long ago but that isn’t entirely true. I’ve moved around a lot in my life and I found that the local phone company did everything they ...
In an attempt to save some money, I dropped AOL’s crappy service (which they kept telling me was going to end soon anyhow) and switched to Verizon DSL. As it would turn out, DSL is a very complicated and annoying, which I had been unaware of. You have to connect all of these “filters” to ...

As far as ISP’s go, I have tried both dial-up and cable. Currently I have Road Runner through Time Warner in Columbus, OH. Sure, high speed is faster than dial-up when loading pages, surfing the web, and downloading files and programs. But there is also a down side to high speed. Besides the obvious problems, ...
In this review of Dish Network (the satellite television program service) and its bundle package, I’ll share my personal experience with you. First, we had previously been using Time Warner Cable and Roadrunner. We were fairly satisfied with them, except for the fact that our bill would show a slight increase every month, and in ...
Often when comparing two products side-by-side, the breakdown can sometimes appear with a David versus Goliath motif. Well, not this time. Comcast is one of the largest communications conglomerates in the world. It is a company that not only has exclusive rights agreements to broadcast the games of several professional sports franchises all over the ...
I had DSL Internet connection provided by AT&T; for 4 or 5 years. My cable was provided by Time Warner. I was happy with the service provided by both companies and I rarely had any trouble. I’d also like to be upfront about the fact I am an AT&T; retiree and I receive a small ...
