I hate Time-Warner...

and AT&T, too. I have been to web sites (plural) to try and figure out the best plan for HS Internet and phone, but every time I talk to someone, the price goes up. I already have 88 stations cable included in my rent. T-W is supposed to count it as one pillar of a package before adding other things in. But DVR is 4x what I thought it is, and that brings it up to $124.99 with only Internet and wireless added. So...was going to do T-W for convenience of everything at one place, but AT&T's package of DSL, land line and cell for $99 plus tax looks better and better. Or -- I could get Internet, and just get a phone from my sister's circle and pay her $20 a month for phone and unlimited LD. And save for a Tivo.

Is there a definitive T-W site for Austin?

First of all, let me apologize for not helping with The Move. I was already hip-deep in taxes when I got your email, and I knew if I didn't get it done that weekend they wouldn't get done in any timely manner.

I was a TWC cable subscriber, and I hated them. I moved both cable and internet to AT&T as soon as I could. I've never had any outages/slowdowns with AT&T and their customer service reps have been nothing but helpful. My only complaint is that TiVo is not comaptible with U-verse, but the DVR you get from AT&T is quite good. I use the DSl Pro (not the highest speed), and it's perfectly adequate as to download speed, etc. You have to have a landline, though.

Not a prob -- I understand about taxes. I dread mine this year -- so much going on, still not done with last year's folders. Also found out some stuff on my new apartment -- I hope it's going to be the experience of the 5.0 tenants and not the 1.0 tenants.

Trying to stage last things before they come tomorrow for the furniture. W said he'll pay for the move, which is why I am keeping some calm. Stress...well, we know what it can do to me.
