Question Which Service Provider....

ok! IM getting cable.....and I have 4 choices of who I get it from, or at least thats what circut city here says.( Do you think this is unrealistic? because usually theres only 1 or 2 ultilities for power,gas etc.)(do you think this is jsut nation wide options, im confused... Here are the choices:

AT&T Broadband
Comcast Cable
Charter Pipeline Cable
Cox @ home

Which one is the fastest, and most importantly, reliable?

Not sure about your area, but Earthlink also does cable, DSL, Satellite, dialup, wireless etc. nationwide. Like any other provider service areas are sometime limited. Earthlink

They are all going to be close to the same as far as speed, since they are leasing the cable space from your designated cable tv supplier. So shop price and service. And most of the time this is going to be your cable tv supplier since they usually have large service staff physically present in your area that can respond faster.

AT&T

Hate to recommend it, but when all else is considered the monopoly will be better about keeping their own network up than the cable TV companies.
