I found myself in a pickle like this a little over a year ago. I hate Time Warner Cable and Dish TV was having an amazing bundle special with Earthlink for internet, so during my move to my new apartment I canceled cable and set up an appointment for DishTv. They came over to set it up and realized Dish wouldn't work at my apartment because of a tree blocking the satellite signal! They told me sorry, I couldn't have Dish. So now I had no TV, and internet with a different company. I had to call Time Warner to get the TV installed, but they couldn't come out for 1-2 weeks! And they technically own Earthlink now, so they wouldn't officially switch my internet from Time Warner to Earthlink...so I have working TV and Internet but technically with two different companies, and it was just such a mess. There was no communication on either side and I was SO frustrated. I feel your pain and hope this gets resolved quickly! What a story! I found myself in a pickle like this a little over a year ago.

Recent trends indicate cable companies will be he big losers in this economic turndown. Why? Because there are many inexpensive yet reliable choices emerging. Consumer loyalty is directly related to how the consumer feels about the service provider. I know I feel no loyalty to my cable or cell phone provider..... You did a nice job with your article. Thanks Frank Costello Lynnae
