What can I say overpriced, poor connection quality, horrible costumer service, and lazy techs who do bottom of the barrel work and don't show up on time. But I guess you can get away with anything when you have a virtual monopoly on the market!

Last Straw!!!
If you drop channels like MSNBC and others we will DROP YOU and go to DTV in seconds, plus we will drop phone, internet and the whole package permanently and make sure all of our clients and friends do the same.
