Being new to SA I was wondering what would you recommend for cable, internet, satellite? Always had cable(comcast)from where I used to live. I've read negative things about TWC here. Never had a satellite because where I was from the weather really affected the reception that's why I went with cable. I've been told that around SA the bad reception problem isn't a factor since storms aren't that prevalent. Any recommendations?

TWC is ok, but if you favor the NFL Network, forget it. TWC has played stupid with the NFL for years. I just changed to ATT Uverse and it's a good. I like it better than TWC so far. Not sure if it is available in SA, but I would check.

I think back when I lived in d Hood aka Irving they were one fo the first to get Verizon FIOS. Keller was actually one of the very first cities for FIOS, as Verizon's NOC is out here is Southlake. San Antonio is considered a very "patient" market area, so we rolled it out there as it's not a huge market area, and we could get the kinks worked out. At the time we also had our at&t HQ in San Antonio, so all those factors made it an easy choice. In the early days we sure had some issues too.

I got Uverse with the wireless cable. Now I can put a tv on any wall in the house and not worry about cable connections.
