Best phone provider for international travel?

How many people have been frustrated by there cable, phone and internet providers services?

• I switched my individual cable, phone and internet services to one provider back in August 2007. I have had an ongoing problem of outtages with the phone/internet service portion from day one. It will simply drop and after some period (minutes to hours) it will come back on and reset the modem. I would like the combined services and general cost / features if it were working 100%. Has any one else experienced this? The outtages - drops and reconnections. I have heard a colleague mention a similar problem with combined services in a different area and different provider them myself. I have made every effort to fix this problem over the six months. The provider has a monopoly in my area and any other provider is re-selling their services. So the problem will travel to the next provider of the same set up. My provider will go to great lenghths to disavow this problem. They would much rather claim it must be my equipment or that the modem box is not hooked up correctly.

• Answer:

  Before it expires the special offer ask them to renew at the same price ,otherwise had someone w the same package and price otherwise you will be out of service,and is cheap to have the whole package it does make senses,unfortunately this companies are dinosaurs !! be aware, but play smart see when you have the service started ,then two months b4 the first year anniversary,call and ask for the same package otherwise,look is plenty companies out there! good luck!!!!!!!
