Not sure if I can get a signal but if I do I am changing ASAP!

I've been a Metrocast customer for almost 20 years and now am thoroughly disgusted with the so-called upgrade which is useless and overly confusing. I am looking into (believe it or not) Fairpoint's bundle which includes phone, Internet, and a heavily discounted DirecTV subscription. The only problem may be line of sight issues which would not allow for the DirecTV setup, so I'm still doing research on an alternative to Metrocast. I also find the "search" function useless and not at all accurate.

The other issue of course is that it's Fairpoint and DSL. I hear that when their network gets congested or goes down they will print web pages for you and deliver them via service truck, for a scheduled appointment between 9A and 4P.

DirecTV is pretty good though.
