Firstly, I'm rating 1 star because a star is required in order to publish this review.
I have Phonoscope because I must have it. No other choices are available to us here. The cost of having a cable box and dvr is ridiculous (I was quoted $20 monthly box rental on top of an increased monthly plan cost! Errr hello $13 Tivo that I can program from my Blackberry!) so we have opted for basic 80-ish channels and tivo. My main concern with their cable is during each show I watch, the aforementioned (by ktb77004) commercial with the ""ominous music"" for the Houston Business Channel comes on OR a commercial about a woman not wanting to use a dirty catheter (who would?). While these types of commercials may be useful to some, I would appreciate not having the HGTV reveal completely interrupted only to bring me back to the final interview or even worse--the credits of my regularly scheduled programming.
The cable internet is adequate. There were a few months where it was a given that every day at 4:30pm I would have no internet service and that would last for a couple hours. When contacting Phonoscope, they are always available but not always knowledgeable, and of course even if I was unable to use the internet during a portion of my waking and at home time at no fault of my own, I was still required to pay the entire bill. Ahhh how I miss Time Warner in that respect!
We are now looking to purchase a home and a top excitement of ours is freedom of choice to run in the opposite direction of Phonoscope. I would pay good money to rid us of the commercials consistently overlapping our programs!!
Pros: I can write this review.
Cons: A to Z
