GEEK FREE

Some members have been wanting us to talk about television/internet/phone service providers in the area. It is a very complex subject because they all have advertised promotional prices for bundled packages that do not include a lot of other fees, taxes and other extras that apply, nor do they advertise what the normal price will be after the introductory rate for the first year or two that it typically lasts.
I recently discovered the website cabletv.com that has already done the research to provide this type of information and a whole lot more related topics, including alternative streaming services. Note that promotional offers and prices, fees and taxes are always changing and will vary by location.
The Blogs section under Resources in the menu for the cabletv.com website is particularly helpful on many aspects. For convenience, I have listed some of the more pertinent blog articles for a few of the providers in our area below.
