OT: Cspire Internet and TV Service

[Jdog.sixpack]

I currently have the best ATT Uverse internet service available and have their top TV package. I have been really pleased with the service and quality. I am not happy with what I am paying every month. Cspire "fiber to the home" is going to be available very soon in my area and I know that in the metro Jackson area, and elsewhere in the state, the Cspire service has been available for a while. I would appreciate knowing if anyone out there has the Cspire service and what they think about it. Thanks.

CSpire is the home-grown MS service, so unless they give you a reason not to, I would go with them.

ETA: I have AT&T myself, so I do not advocate dumping them or anything. I pay $140 for TV and internet, not sure how that compares to you, I do not have any premium stuff. I am not in a CSpire service area.

The reason not to was my case some 15 years ago. I didn't particularly like the quality of their service (not customer service - just what they provided to customers).

TL; DR: If you like them, go for it. Otherwise, since you like ATT already, see if you can get a better deal.

Uverse is easily the best TV service I've had. I do not use their internet however. They are certainly not the cheapest, but I finally learned that if you have the cheapest provider, you'll probably get the service you are paying for.

Cspire doesn't give you HBO GO access...

Nailed it. Unless you're just seriously strapped for cash, quality is much more important than price. If you are strapped for cash, then get the cheapest available.

This. Comcast is pretty much impossible to deal with, but if you're stuck somewhere between paying for cable and cutting the cord, you're going to want to have access to things like WatchESPN (Sports), HBOGo (Game of Thrones), and NBCSportsExtra (Premier League). Fiber is coming to my area, and right now I'm thinking of going with CSpire internet and Comcast TV until CSpire either makes some more content deals or I cut the cord altogether.

I now own my own modem, use my own high powered WiFi router, and don't have EVERY premium channel and Comcast is pretty cheap and reliable.

Good example of making sure you know what you're talking about before putting things out there.

I'm with

you on this. UVerse is the best, to me. The organization of stations is huge to me. I like when all the sports channels are in a certain block, all of the movie channels, etc etc. I don't want to have to turn it to channel 500 for espn, channel 1300 for fox sports, etc etc. UVerse excels, in that respect. Maybe the others have fallen in line, though.

Wow. CSpire literally wasn't listed on their app last week.

Glad they support it.

Mea culpa.

I have had U-verse and now have Comcast X1. Comcast is better than AT&T.
I pay $209 for everything(phone, internet and 5 cable boxes(4 HD). I can record 4 shows at a time and watch on any one of my 4 HD tv's.
I pan to switch to C-spire in the next year for $160 per month for all 3 services and close to 50x the internet speed I have now.
C-Spire is the way to go, and the TV service has most channels, not sure how their DVR works though.

Where does CSpire provide coverage in MS?
