In TN we had a bundle that included fantastic cable tv with all 3 tiers (we could channel surf until we passed out), phone with unlimited local and long distance calling, and great internet services. It cost $186/month with Charter Communications.
We moved to AL and have TDS Services, phone (unlimited calling) and internet (phone line that requires a card to separate phone from computer lines) with Dish Network TV all bundled for $123/month. IT *****! During tropical storm Lee we received 12 inches of rain. It was raining hard and blocked the signals to the Dish and the TV went blank. When it comes back on we have to wait 5-10 minutes for that piece of crap to re-program and it may or may not download all the HD channels. It has happened several times when it is raining. Out of frustration, I have been known to throw the remote control across the room and almost give my husband a heart attack. I have just signed a permit giving permission for another (new) cable service to cross my property and attach REAL CABLE to the power poles. We have underground electrical service to the house but this is power lines that run along the highway on one side of the property. When they get all the cables hung, I'm canceling TDS service.
