I have satellite TV and cable internet.

They will try to convince you to drop your satellite service----and may even offer you an imaginative bundled package but they will sell it to you.

Yes, you can have both satellite TV and broadband cable internet as long as you have an existing cable TV line to your house. Since you don't have cable TV the only thing you will not get are the promotions that you get if you had cable TV.

Which is why I have Cox telephone service. That way I get a discount.

also possibly equates to BIG whole-house outages...just ask my buddy in Rhode Island.
No TV, no phone, no internet for 3 days...almost caused a divorce:lol: :lol:

I have had Road Runner and satellite (Dish) for almost a year I finally pulled the plug on Dish and am getting Road Runner, Expanded Basic, Digital Tier and 2 Premiums of my choice for $78. (12 month price guarantee)

Not a bad choice. You can always return to satellite if you dcoose to. I hope you did not have to return your equipment. If not youa re good to go.
