Good-bye Ma Bell

Not so long ago, Ma Bell was forced to split, giving us SBC, Bell South and others. Now Ma Bell is almost back together. And on the verge of the companies coming back, I am saying good-bye. For the past year and a half I have been a customer of what was SBC and is now AT&T, with phone, DSL and TV (via DishNetwork). The reason I'm leaving... DishNetwork.

Let me share with everyone out there. When you see the disclaimer on the bottom of the Satellite TV commercials saying that you might lose signal during storms is something to consider. There is no question, you do lose signal. You also don't get your own local channels. I live in CT, and I am getting local channels out of NY. What is up with that?

When it comes to HD, DishNetwork wants to charge you and extra $20 a month for the service and make you buy the receiver. I have decided to change to my local cable network which only charges an extra $8 a month for HD. To me, this is a huge difference. I also know, that I will have signal during bad weather and other solar events.

I have also decided to go to cable Internet and switch my phone service to Vonage. I have heard nothing but good things from everyone that I know that has used it.

So please, if you are thinking about using Satellite TV, DON'T. Get cable!

More new years fun

Welcome 2007

It's a new year and I need a new kitchen window. What I have learned from this is that you should put things in front of windows to block people from using them as things to balance on when they have had too much to drink. On the upside, I get a new window :)

It was a small party compared to our last one, but this one had a very special guest. Ladies and Gents, former president of the U.S., George Herbert Walker Bush!
