Time to start this poll once again (looks like the previous poll (http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=30430) has not survived the forum software upgrade).

So, who is your cable provider? Please vote above. I have included Verizon FiOS too.

If your cable company is not listed, please reply to this thread and we can add it to the above list.

And if you do not currently use any cable service, please do not vote. You can click on "View Poll Results" instead.

I have Qwest VDSL (http://www.qwest.com/residential/products/tv/channelsAZ.html) (about as 'cable' as FIOS is).

Info about VDSL if anyone cares:

Interesting. Does Qwest deliver HD channels too?
I added Qwest VDSL to the list.

Sadly, no. I've asked and they say HD and a DVR is in the works. I'm not holding my breath waiting. I think their HD / DVR solution will simply be DirecTV as they are partnered with them for bundled discounts. They've been doing it for about 5 years here and all that's changed since inception is a newer STB and the premium data service went from 1.0/1.0 to 3.0/1.0.

One vote for verizon fios tv.

My Cable CO is Dish Network. I have this nasty cable coming to the house from COX for internet.

Adelphia...soon to be Comcast.

Adelphia--17HD channels--good service,but could be better

Blue Ridge Cable here, www.brctv.com. It's actually quite good with ~210 channels.

Added Blue Ridge to the list. ;)

Adelphia is the company that serves the city I live in, but most people opt for DirecTV or Dish Network. I cut the cable in 1995 and was antenna only until I got Dish Network in 2000. Adelphia lost me a long time ago and I will never go back.

Citywest Cable

Used to be Monarch Cable Till Oct 2005 ... I think we have about 25,000 Subs in 8 towns/cities ..Problay one of the only analog only cable systems left in the Great white north lol ...but digital is coming

Interesting. Does Qwest deliver HD channels too?
Just an update. I got some snail mail saying that Qwest is now offering HD on VDSL in my area.

I guess Cebridge Connections needs to be changed to Suddenlink.

So where's the Mediacom forum? :D

Hi everyone.I saw your cable company poll and thought I woud add mine.Northland Cable Co. serves mainly small communities in several states.I have their bundle package of digital cable/BB/phone for 99$ a month.Really enjoy the site!overtimeman

i use to have cable back in 2000 but now i have directv and dishnet both HD and DVR
here is the cable site http://www.scatui.net
28 channels for $28.00 or something like that

if you want to know who the first cable company was in the us. Its Service Electric! thats its name to fame only.
family channe line up only, no diversity!!!!!!!!!!!!
most of the their service area is one way!! not fiber they still use the 1970's original lines in my area there hdtv doesnt work here.. the higher the channel the more snow. upper channels dont work Horrible backwards hickish CS.... headend problems signal is variable seems like during primtime viewing the quality of the channels degrade especially in the upper channels. if system goes down or there are tech issues on a weekend its not fixed until the following monday. if you want to see what cable was like in the 1970's this is your company to pick..
If you complain they give you credit for snowy channesl instead upgrading or resolving the issue... interesting a private company at work. and i cant get RCN because they dont have a fanchaise in my area. never seen so many directv and dishes in my neighorhood.

Suddenlink, anyone?

Another Northland Survivor!?! Northland in my neck of the woods (and i suspect all necks served by northland) is crap. Crap for HD, crap for Analog, crappy prices, the only good thing is our internet but thats just because DSL sucks. Good luck with yours

The only reason Northland is surviving around here is the fact that they are the only means of getting BB in the rural areas.The did put up a fiber optic cable through our neck of the woods.The older service areas still have the original copper line can't get anything but the basic cable service.overtimeman:cool:

which neck of the northland woods would you be in. here in starkville they're gearin up for a pretty big revamp of their HD lineup. about 12 new additions to the 6 standing channels from the past year and a half. its about time. Maben, mathiston, etc are still analog only on copper cable so i can see where your coming from. its going to be an intersting next few months here in Northland land.

I'm signing up for Charter. I haven't been with Charter for years. But I'm signing up with them for the bundled package (phone, internet, cable). Hopefully they are better than they were when I was last with them. They have a lot more channels now than before. I'm with D* now and am surprised that Charter has some channels that D* does not carry (mainly movie channels). I hope Charter picks up Chiller, Sleuth and Fox Reality at some point (especially Chiller).

I am in Clemson South Carolina with Northland Cable.You are the first responce I've gotten with anyone else using Northland.Dish and Direct has put a hurting on their business but their bundle deal can't be beat for 99$.That's not an intro price either.Overtimeman

I am in Clemson South Carolina

Clemson are you? Mississippi State fan here from Starkville! It was about time ya'll came here for baseball! We dont trust VOIP because of the tendency of the spottiness the cable has for internet. I'll let you know when the new HD channels come, because I will be checking very often after September 1st because ESPN2 will be great about this time of year for football! the game was a mess last night so i left after 3rd quarter... just by chance, do you know if most of your analog channels produce stereo or just mono? because all of our channels except mtv2, a local broadcast from the college and sports south are the only channels with stereo audio. very frusterating

Hey,the game was one sided.There sure are a lot of LSU fans around here in upstate South Carolina.The local radio station around here wccp.com is a 24/7 all sports station.I listen at my lunch break it's a local call in show.I hadn't really thought about the analog channels not broadcasting in stereo.When that came popular 20 years ago all stations that broadcast in stereo showed it at the start of every program.I have the stereo turned on the TV menu.Gosh I gave my sound system to my son in law cause I never used it any more.Lightning got my TV last summer and I bought one of the few picture tube TV they had left Sony36 inch for 699$.I'm pretty sure most of the channels broadcast in stereo.Now you got me wondering!!:confused: overtimeman

i thought our defense played their hearts out most of the first half but you lose hope when your leader throws more to the other team than your own. and for the stereo, my first hints came when they introduced the "zap2it" channel on analog channel 25. on the channel they play just some oldies music in the background as the channels SLOWLY scroll thru... but many times you would only be able to hear the music and no words because back in the day the had voice on one channel and music on the other. the other day i was scrollin thru the channels on my bedroom tv, 20inch emerson tube and it will say stereo under the channel number when its getting a stereo signal. well i went thru all the channels and that was about how many i found with stereo. the same held true on our new 42 inch sharp aquos we got off qvc not too long ago. (GREAT tv by the way) so i was just wondering if this was standard practice or just starkville...

I have DirecTV for Television,

I have Comcast for Internet/Basic cable

We have Charter in Wisconsin and Comcast in the Chicago area, both services have been super! We used to have satellite in Wisconsin and what a nightmare. Forget about it! I'm happy with the cable.

I have DirecTV and Dish Network...

The cable co. in the area is Massillon Cable a.k.a. Clear Picture Inc (outside the greater Massillon area)

Well I saw the poll and voted then scrolled down to see that Ilya said not to vote if you don't subscribe. Sorry.

TWC is available to me and I use it for internet and phone but not TV. I used to but not anymore. I have used Dish Network for TV for the last almost 9 years but in early 2005 I had both for TV for a few months. When Voom appeared on Dish, I dropped TWC TV as I found what I really wanted. MonstersHD and RaveHD. I will forever miss these channels.

BTW.. My system is of of those TWC systems that was bought from the old CVI (Cablevision Industries) back in the mid 1990's. Anyone remember Alan Gerry? That was the owner / CEO of CVI. One of the true original pioneers of CATV. He still lives right here in my little town as he always has.

You can not change companies without moving to another location. Crap!!!!!

I have TWC for basic and I want Fios soon!

Mine isn't listed Suddenlink. Anyone know when they are gonna have HD programming anytime soon? I email they respond saying ask your local office. I call they say they don't know. :confused:

I think we should start another poll and see what the numbers look like now 3-years later.

Why is Rogers the only Cable Company on the list? Why no Shaw,Videotron and some of the other cable compaanies in Canada?

This poll is from 2006. The list hasn't been updated in years. It should've been closed long ago. ;)
We can create a new poll. If your company is not listed, reply to this thread with the company name and I can add it to the new list.

Might not be a bad idea since adelphia is long gone:confused:

I now have Frontier! Not too impressed yet! Will give them till Jan Or Feb to see if they start doing something interesting! Pretty stale right now! Nothing new happening and no one knows anything! :-(

I just started a new poll, as this one is very old and has been closed.

(FYI: this poll had much more than 10 options, but evidently the latest forum software does not support more than 10, so the rest was cut-off)
