cable/phone/internet providers

Verizon for phone. I have a docking station to use the service with land-line phones.

Metrocast for internet. Fairpoint have fibre optics in Laconia but is not offered for residential use.

I have a 'smart tv' and laptop connected to the TV. I may get all my shows after they are aired but I am not renting a DVR cable box and I see no need for a cable subscription.

Verizon 'hotspot' is great when internet is down, but the unlimited plan is expensive. Metrocast internet is about 60% reliable. It is down a lot!

This must be location dependent. I have been pleasantly surprised at the reliability I've experienced since moving here full time. It's been MUCH better than the Comcast connection I had in MA. I can't even tell you the last time it was down.

We are very satified with our bundle package with MetroCast at our cottage on East Bear Island.
