We've had it now for about 2 months. That was upgrading from rabbit ears and 1mbps DSL.

Install? Our house was prewired for cat 6 incoming from a previous tenant. 1 TV. Took 3 visits over 7 days. Neighbors have it up to 7 visits over 14 days. Good stuff...grrr... Actually, it's because the homeowner where the main junction box is is a jackhole, who decided he didn't like the junction box, so he started moving it around. Yes, you heard me.


However, once it was working, it's been flawless. We had it turned on a few hours before the World Cup, and abused it during that time (recording, watching, deleting, etc).

200 channels (150 of which are SD/HD repeats, Korean, annoying news stations, etc and turned off of our listing). 12mbps internet and phone is $165 a month or so. Got $325 in reward cards for signing up, they arrived pretty promptly and worked as expected. Every time a speed test it, I get at least 10.5mbps on the internet, even with an HD feed going to the TV.

Haven't done any on-demand stuff, since I have Netflix. The recording process is easy, and the fun things that I've never seen before (having been a TV luddite) are cool, like being able to log in at work and schedule a recording.

If you have a house alarm or lose power often, you should consider keeping a hardwired phone line as well. Alarms don't play well with it, and the phone is run through the residential gateway, with only a few hours (at best) battery power.
