When logging on to my email today, I noticed that it now says Armstrong Cable.  Called the new 800 number and spoke with a representative.  She was very nice and informative.  Looks like in the upcoming months, if you have digital cable, there will be more channels added, including HD.  Can’t wait!!!

It has to be!  Clearview had the worst customer service I have ever seen.

All it will take is a good rainstorm.  Maybe even a brisk breeze and bang, out it goes.

Anybody that has Clearview and complains really needs to switch to Hughes satellite internet so they can pay twice as much for half the speed of Clearview with non-engrish customer service. Then come back and complain.

I’ll have to call them and see if they’ll extend service 100 yards to my house for internet, Clearview wouldn’t.

I’d take you up on that if I could get them to pick up the phone first grin Last time I called with a problem the call ended with me having the feeling I offended them.

Also, I would gladly take half the speed or twice the cost (not both) if it was ‘always on’.  Right now (well not anymore pending on how Armstrong pans out) I felt the customer service and cost were on par for part time randomly intermittent service.

That’s the thing, it’s not always on, hence why I need to call so frequently...and be on hold for 30 minutes to “try” to talk to someone.

It’s satellite so 100 yards is not an issue, but $60/month for sub par service, I’d take cable or DSL any day for internet just to not have the latency issues inherent to satellite that tends to make alot of browsing functions seem to “time out” and result in unresolvable errors. Satellite is the high speed of last resort imo, I have used Clearview at plenty of friends/family’s houses and never seem to have the issues I hear about on here, but then again none of them live in the station either and that seems to be where I see the most complaints.

I had Wildblue.  Don’t know how Wild they were but they Blue for sure!  Horrible customer service, 128kb down and way less than that up.  $68 and month.  I signed up for Clearview when they finally ran down my road and I am thrilled 3MB down and high 600’s up.
