question on quality verses price: You said you like the service, and
you don't have HD. What service do you have? And, do you like the
internet service? The salesman that came around last night knew
nothing about the service, the hardware, etc. He also said they
"guaranteed" 3 meg down for the internet service. I asked what the SLA
was and what do they "really" guarantee, but he didn't have a clue.
