The only problem with cable internet access, is that most people have no choices!! There are few places with more than one cable company servicing their area. Even in the Hotlanna area with something like 15 cable companies, only one company serves an area. We are limited to Charter. Yet just a mile "down the road" they are served by Comcast.
So your first job will be to find out what cable company(ies) serve your neighborhood. You can find out online by simply typing in your city and then "cable company" (without the ""). Then you look through the websites for the place you can enter your address to see if they serve you.
When we first moved to this neighborhood, I had to do that with 3 different companies. When I found the one that served us, I could check out their packages and whatnot.
If there are two that serve your neighborhood, then you can "play them off" against each other to get the best price you can. But remember, most introductory prices go up after 3-6 months, occasionally not for a year, but they do go up. So when you get them on the phone, be sure to find out what it will be when the intro price expires.
I will say that cable internet is the fastest you can get. Satellite internet is even slower than dial-up, so even if it were lots cheaper than my cable, I wouldn't get it. I need the high speed access because of the medical-legal research I do.
Hope this helped a little bit!
Cheerio!
