I have Cox, and my basic cable and basic internet is running me nearly $135 a month.
Plus, Tivo is $15 a month. I wouldn't want TV without the ability to fast forward through all the commercials.
So, $150 a month for basic internet and basic TV with Tivo.

I've tried Hulu and Netflix, but those aren't enough of a TV replacement for me. I'm a bit of a channel surfer. I want to turn on a TV and it work, not have to sort through Hulu/Netflix/Crackle to find a show I want, then watch it, then repeat. I like variety and stumbling onto movies and shows on TV. I don't want to have to sift through Netflix/Hulu listings for this. Not my style, I tried it. Over the air doesn't have enough channels for me or many shows that interest me. I guess I use TV as a bit of a background noise. So, I do want some sort of cable TV (or U-Verse).

Cox wouldn't give me a discount because I'm not a new customer. I tried to say I would cancel, etc. No luck. My original price when I got it was $70 or so. Now it's $135. I have the very basic cable and very basic internet-- the lowest levels that they offer. It's not like I have the 200+ channel package with movies and nice perks. I have the lowest service level Cox offers, and the price keeps going up without notice too (no contract).

I saw a deal for U-Verse for internet and TV for $60something. After DVR and equipment rental, it would be about $80. That beats $150 with Cox/Tivo. That's not far from half the price I'm paying now with Cox/Tivo.

Is U-Verse any good in NW OKC and Edmond?

Does U-Verse require a satelite dish, or does it run over the existing "cable jacks/outlets" in your house? Does the service go out often?

Is U-Verse really a better deal than Cox here? I don't mind switching back and forth after 1-2 years of a contract with U-Verse then Cox back and forth if I could get intro prices.

Like I mentioned, Netflix/Hulu/internet "TV" just doesn't do it for me. I've tried having internet only. Not my style. There's only one TV in my house that I really want to have service, so having to rent equipment for each TV from U-Verse isn't that big of a deal with me.

U-Verse pricing seems too good to be true. Is it?
