To Cable or not to Cable
Aug. 27th, 2003 09:29 amWell, I chose the expensive apartment, and I will be moving over (since it's across the busy, 8 lane street) on September 27th. It's nice, and new and has all the stuff I want. I also get to choose what to do with my cable TV provider.
Running Rats Acres has a service called TVMax. It's off-brand cable, and despite the fact that they have Bravo, there isn't much else. I'm thinking about getting Time Warner digital cable in the new place, rather than going with a dish, and really there's only one reason - Road Runner internet.
Right now I'm on SBC DSL, and have a phone line. I never use the phone line, and would like to get rid of the expense by going with the cable modem. Who has a cable modem? Is it reliable? i've really liked having DSL, so I hope the service would be comparable.
The other question, if I don't have a phone line, can I still use a TiVo? I want to get a TiVo, and I'm not sure if Time Warner offers one with it's service yet. Can I connect it through the Cable Modem?
Otherwise, I've got movers for the heavy stuff, which will be especially good since the new place is on the 3rd floor. Yes, the Icon will be lording over all at the Old Farm Apartments (the site used to be a family farm, still, until 1998, yet it's still here in the city). The view is nice, the apartment has more light than my current cave, and has a washer/dryer! That will be so sweet! My furniture will probably look bad in there!
