[QUOTE=TOAD;160983]OK...is it $80 or $90?

"It depends on what you are getting sir."

I want internet and basic TV stations where I can get my news channels.

Now listen carefully is it $80 or $90 a month for internet service and a minimal package so I can get Fox News, History and Discovery Channel?

There is no simple answer. The best stated above is to visit Time Warner office in either Conway or Plymouth.

You can try all sorts of combinations of DSL, satellite, cable broadband. It all adds up to about the same. Satellite internet is very expensive, DSL (not available in all locations the last time I checked) is slightly less. Some have "promotions" for one year with a 2 year contract. Some have a promotional 1 year contract. Some "offers" throw in the broadband telephone. But today, most under a certain age do not need or use any land line phone.

I have Direct TV for television and I own my own equipment. After the 2 years, the satellite can be turned of and turned on at any time at any location. If you own your own equipment there is never any additional 2 year contract if you upgrade your equipment/receivers. I have one account with Direct TV at 2 locations. No, you can't have the 2 locations on at the same time. I have Time Warner for broadband.

Note carefully, that Direct TV, Dish Network, and Time Warner you may get different answers from different customer service people. The satellite ones - Direct and Dish are notorious for their lack of knowledge with customer service issues or questions.

Cable allows customer to go on "Winter" service. The broadband is dropped but TV still works.

There is no one best solution.
