I have a desion to make, I'm moving into my apartment soon, and since I'm a collge students , I would like to cut any corners on bills where I can, and that brings me to the bill of cable. I have friends who live in apartments who have no cable/satelite over the bill (or for other reasons) but I'm almost certain I can live with it. Since Time Warner rules cable in the Dayton,OH area (here and which will seem almost everywhere) , I fell that might be the best choice ,though since Satelite is cheaper (in some cases) I've taken 2nd thoughts but they sometime make you pay upfrount for set-up or equitment not to mention that satelite is I've heard is abit expensive for internet compared to Time-Warner for cable internet, so I wonder which one is best.

Keep in mind too that with Time Warner there's no contract. You can cancel service at any time if it becomes too expensive or some other circumstance arrises. Also consider getting the digital phone with it, you'll save money if you bundle. I have cable (not digital), digital phone and Roadrunner highspeed online from TW at about 120 per month total. This includes unlimited long distance.

You will have a lot of up front cost if you go with satellite (usually hundreds of dollars) and if the weather is bad you won't be able to hookup. Cable modem is faster and more reliable.

My experience is that satellite sucks. heavy rains, sun spots, and heavy cloud cover used to prevent me from connecting all the time. Also, high-speed internet is much faster through cable than satellite.
