jdbaker Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm a better person for it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I currently have Phonoscope. I've been very happy with their service so far. Their cable internet works well, they offer HDTV, and their price seem to be in line with than Comcast. Best of all, they setup my new account within a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinM Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 A service called FISION was suppose to take over Phonoscope Networks but the deal fell through. Nobody knows why.That's why they are laying their own fiber to the "rich neighborhoods". It may be a while before you see it spread out throughout Houston and suburban areas. If you could get Fision or already have it, you are very lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Phonoscope capabilities and channel lineups can vary widely from neighborhood to neighborhood.I had them for a year and in that time they kept tucking announcements into the bill touting their new channels and service upgrades in different areas EXCEPT MINE. They promised for a year that we would get cable internet, but they never delivered. I ended up moving to a TimeWarner building and got internet immediately.But at least they were cheap.

ToolMan Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I use Phonoscope and the cable service is pretty good, but their high speed internet is awsome with a 5MB download speed for only $20.00 a month. And that's not a promo deal either (and no I did not say porno deal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
