I just bought a place in Laconia and we need cable/basic phone/ and internet...

I'm a Boston person who is used to Comcast - so I would really appreciate any input on who you guys feel is the best option in the area - at least the most reliable option. I don't mind paying a bit more for better service if that's what it takes....

any input is much appreciated!
We had a condo in Gilford before we purchased our home, so we were restricted to using Metrocast for cable TV and internet. When we bought our home 2 years ago we were finally able to drop Metrocast cable for Direct TV- we have the Genie system with a single DVR that allows viewing/recording/playback on up to 5 TV sets at the same time- very satisfied. Unfortunately we have had to stick with Metrocast for high speed internet. We use Fairpoint for land lines and Verizon for cell and smart phone data service. The Fairpoint and Direct TV service is very reliable; the Verizon cell service can be spotty at timers. I wish I could say good things about Metrocast internet, but I cannot. Good luck.
