Here in the UK, I originally went with BT for my television package, and that was okay except that the cost went up all the time (they reserve the right to do so).
I only put up with the situation for the year, being young and not having unlimited funds! Now get my satellite television from Sky, which includes a heavily discounted Netflix. Cost is great, and there is more content than I have time to watch, so it's a good deal for me.
