I currently have cox communications as my provider for internet, tv, and landline. I've been pretty disappointed with Cox lately and I want to switch to another provider.
TV service: I pay around $75 for dvr service, hd channels, and a basic channel lineup (FX, TBS, CNN, MTV..., no NBA tv, BBC, HBO...). My cox DVR cannot hold many shows and doesn't have a lot of features.
Internet: I pay about $30 a month for internet service, but it is very unreliable. I constantly have to call up Cox to tell them to restore my connection. Even when I do have it, it's very slow. I only get around 1mb/s download.
Landline telephone: I barely ever use it but other members of my family still want to keep it because they want to keep the number. I pay around $20 a month but I get $10 off because I bundle it with other cox services.
I'm currently located in south orange county and I'm having trouble finding other service providers. I wouldn't even mind switching to things like magicjack or something like that. One solution for internet and phone would be getting an additional sprint line ($19.99 each additional line for the family plan; unlimited data, mobile to mobile, texting) and porting my landline number to that mobile line. My family could also use it for internet if I got an android device and downloaded pdanet. The only problem with that is sprint's service at my house is shaky and I often don't have service (airrave would solve phone problem but not internet). I wouldn't mind switching to a satellite provider for tv either. Do you guys have any recommendations?
