"Hi friends...We've been getting the question a lot lately about what service to go with regarding your TV and internet. Here's my two cents as to which one to choose."

"For the best TV quality...none of the above. Go with DirecTV. It offers the best picture quality and you will see the fewest interruptions with service (you know what I am tallking about if you live in Rancho Bernardo or Poway and you have to constantly unplug your cable box to reboot it)."

"For the best customer service, we've had good luck with both Time Warner and Cox. In most cases, you can't choose which provider to go with (some of our clients in Poway are the exception where they can go with either-or). With both of these businesses, you can get a human to help and they offer 7 day-a-week in home service. Prepare to have a punching bag handy to release your frustrations if you are calling U-verse for questions or support. You'll need it."

"For the best Internet experience, go with the faster packages from Cox or Time Warner. It is difficult to determine exactly what speed you will see from any of the providers (Cox Cable, Time Warner, U-verse) as there are many variances when it comes to Internet speed (wiring in the home, distance from the nodes at the street, wiring from street to house, etc.). However, where the claimed download speeds from all three providers are very similar, the actual performance from U-verse typically ends up being much slower due to the wiring that is used from the house to the modem. In addition to the issues with speed, the ATT U-verse boxes have some known networking issues (won't work for wireless bridging, encryption issues with Tivo) that may make some of your networked equipment impossible to use."

"Our final votes are:

1) Cox Cable

2) Time Warner

3) ATT/U-Verse"
