Cable vs. DSL

[valis2]

One other thing.

My apartment building has always provided free cable. I pay for the cable modem, but I get Comcast basic cable for free.

No longer. They're switching to Broadstar. And they've decided not to offer basic cable for free any longer.

I know nothing about this company. I have to turn in my modem on Thursday, which is the same day that the Broadstar rep will be talking to the people in my building. My worry is that I won't be able to get a cable modem for a week--and I have lots of eBay stuff to do, so this is baaaaaad.

My choices:

*cable modem and basic cable from Broadstar (probably the most expensive solution)

*cable modem, no basic cable

*DSL from AT&T, basic cable from Broadstar

*DSL, no basic cable (cheapest)

I only have a year to go here, but I do enjoy me some basic cable, especially when I'm working. I'm trying to decide what to do. Anyone have any thoughts on Broadstar as a company? I'd be most appreciative to hear them.

Hmm. The apartment complex was built in 2000, but that is a very good thing to check out.

And that's a real bummer for you, I'm sorry!
