So, you’re sick of paying the Meep-Meep guys through the nose for your high-speed internet. Or maybe your Meep-Meep provider just “upgraded” your digital cable TV service and you’ve found, as we have, that the new programming guide is awful, that you’ve lost the ability to do keyword searches to record movies featuring your favorite actor/actress, and that your box reboots in the middle of your favorite programs? Meanwhile, forking money over to Ma Bell’s offspring seems like a waste since even their “fastest” services are still intolerably slow.

In that case, don’t forget to check the Cox services in your area. Cox operates in numerous states and provides both home and business service.

In addition to Cox packages combining deals on various television/internet/phone configurations there are a variety of Cox bundles offering savings when you order all three. (The availability of packages and bundles depends on where you live.)

Remember, starting next February your television with rabbit ears won’t receive programs if you haven’t installed a converter box or subscribed to cable television. That doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune, though: Cox cable TV subscribers can stick with basic programming or upgrade to a DVR (digital video recorder). Believe me, once you’ve experienced the power of watching television on your time schedule you’ll wonder how on earth you lived without it.
