TWC or Directv

Just bought a new house and will be moving in a couple of weeks. Currently I have TWC with the bundle of digital phone, cable TV with whole home DVR, and digital phone. Got HBO and Cinemax on 4 TVs.  Bill runs around $200 a month for everything.

 

The house we bought already has a Directv dish. Trying to decide what my best route is to go.  I loathe TWC but my service has been ok.  Not impressed with the high speed internet (I'm supposed to have the highest residential service available but it doesn't dress out that way). Digital phone has been nice, cable tv works 99.9% of the time but whole home DVR stopped working last week.

 

AT&T Uverse isn't available here so it looks like Directv for television and Windstream for phone and internet.  Probably would end up going with TWC for internet regardless because Windstream's top internet here is 3mbps.

 

Right now leaning towards going back with TWC bundle but if I can save a few bucks with Directv I may give that a try.

 

What say you?

get Dish, Directv is in a state of chaos right now after being bought by att.  Dish will give you much more for your money than any other provider.  Also you could go the Dish streaming route, Sling Tv.  your tv channels are streamed over the internet.  Its $20 a month, no contract. I can give yo ua referral code to save you $50

all I know is god bless your soul if Access Media 3 is the internet provider you get with Direct TV. I have had soooooo much trouble with them in the past, finally got it "resolved"

 

For a solid 5 months during peak use hours (i.e. 7 pm to 1 am), I was getting internet speeds of 0.3 mbps. literally unusable. I spent a few days on the phone with customer service (I'm talking probably a combined 50+ hours) and actually ended up figuring out the CEOs email and getting a direct call from him. I was finally set up with someone who completely turned around the experience for me as she was incredible and was more than willing to help. 

 

would have 100% left earlier if my apartment didn't have a contract with them, and they were the only internet I could get.

I've had DirecTV for about 8 years now, both in VA at my last house and now in eastern NC. There's no way I'd consider switching to anything else. I'm sure there are differences in service areas and maybe some things that change geographically, but I've never had an issue with DirecTV. I have 3 sets in the house and a 4th in the master bath operating off the new wireless Genie, which operates off a router- no coax required. I have everything but CineMax and Starz for about $134/month. Absolutely no complaints with DirecTV.

 

Century Link has my internet at 10mbps for $34.95/month; no house phone.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
