I cut the cord, so I don’t have a TV provider. I have no real complaint with my cell phone company, other than the cost, but that’s not specific to them. They’re all overpriced.
Shit, this is the easiest poll I’ve ever done. Cable company, no fucking doubt. Charter Communications actually made me miss Comcast, if you can believe that. Utterly horriible, incompetent customer service was the worst aspect; ANY and EVERY issue or problem I’ve had withy cable has been met with some form of “we’re sorry sir, we don’t have that information here, butif you’d like we can send a technician out to your house.” :mad: NO! That can’t be the answer to every damn question a customer has! Somebody tell me something!! Anything!!
Halfway a joke (that Miss South Carolina pageant contestant), halfway a bit of politeness in understanding that there is more to “America” than the US.
I don’t have a TV provider either – I just automatically assumed that “cable company” meant “cable internet provider.”
I get my cell phones, real phones, ISP and TV from AT&T. Other than the usual “cheaper would be nice” and “faster data would be even better” issues, it’s all nearly invisible once a handful of installation and new account mishaps were sorted out.
This describes my situation as well. Although, I would love it if they were a little less expensive. But I could say that about just about everything.
I have TMobile and I kind of like them. Enough not to have bothered switching for 14 years though I have lots of options. I don’t like Bright House Networks (it’s a Time Warner subsidiary) very much at all and I’m seriously considering UVerse.
If I had to choose one, it would be my cell provider (AT&T). I don’t have any particular beef with them, other than the fact that their pricing structure seems to have been derived by examining the entrails of a goat. And they use a different goat every month.
Unlike most places, we have municipal broadband (a subsidiary of the electric utility). Not only do they provide roughly equivalent service for less money, but their presence means that local Comcast users pay less than those in the surrounding area.
ATT Uverse for cable, ATT for cell phone. Watching the bills climb every single month, for one surcharge, user fee, franchise fee, service fee, recovery fee or another, and the latest: a “regulatory video cost recovery charge”.
I am rapidly tiring of the dance that requires that you call in, threaten to leave, and they give you a temporary deal to keep your business. When that deal expires, your next bill explodes with obscene fees and surcharges. The dance begins again.
What an awful company. Unfortunately, in my area, the alternatives are worse, so you’re stuck on hold with ATT every month, trying to make sense of their undecipherable, bedsheet bills.
I don’t have cable (don’t watch enough TV to bother), and my cell phone provider is Virgin Mobile, which I’m quite happy with.
If I had cable, my provider would be ComCast, so I’d probably despise them if I had cable. But I don’t.

I have a tracfone and they are great. They mostly leave me alone, which is what I predominantly want.
My cable company, however is being swallowed up by Comcast or will be swallowing Comcast, I’m not sure which. I’m with time Warner cable. I have no choice. The worst is they have the gall to tell me the merger will be good for me as a customer. Don’t fuck me over and lie to me please!
Neither. My cable company provides me internet access, and my phone company provides me phone service. Now, the guys who wrote my phone’s software… them I have issues with.
I’m pretty much completely neutral on my cell phone provider ( Sprint ). They fill me with neither joy, nor angst.
My cable company ( Comcast ) has mostly been acceptable as well, expense aside. Except when moving, where they completely suck ass. It is all the more aggravating because lately they’ve been running adds boasting about how helpful they are in the moving process. Yeah - NO. They’re an utter pain in the ass, particularly if you have multiple services.
I have DishNetwork and Verizon, so ditto here. I never have reception problems and Dish customer service is awesome.
Now, if it were 12 years ago and we had Comcast, I’d vote for them as worst in a second.
It clearly should be “WE Americans.” As in, “We Americans watch too much TV.” One should never say, “Us Americans watch too much TV.”
Post #23 for an explanation, please.
Of course, if you watch too much TV, you might actually think that “Us Americans” is correct usage. 
I’m perfectly satisfied with my cellphone service via Verizon. We don’t have cable.
My family has been Verizon Wireless customers for 15 years, no complaints.
Also no complaints about cable since the switch to Verizon Fios. We’ve had to call three times in the past few years for 1) screwing up the router settings, 2) shorted-out box and 3) scrambled picture and audio on half the channels. They walked us through fixing the router over the phone, asked a few questions about the shorted-out box and then shipped another one that arrived 2 days later, and scheduled a technician visit for the next day when they couldn’t fix the picture. He showed up early in the window, replaced the ONT, and was gone within 20 minutes. My only issue with them is their phone hold times are usually half an hour, but once you get somebody, the problem is almost always fixed quickly.
Time Warner. . .never again. The installer thought my apartment, which was part of a brand-new, cable-ready luxury-type thing, had inside cable wiring but no outside line. Uh, what? Then he tried to just leave. I called the leasing office for help and they politely informed me that he was an idiot and they would send someone shortly to show him where to flip the switch that had been turned off when the last resident moved out. I had to yell over the balcony into the parking lot for him to come back and wait for them (they showed up within 5 minutes). Then I had to file a BBB complaint to get them to give me the channels they’d advertised as part of the sports package I’d signed up for. Then, when I canceled because I was moving, the autobilling didn’t stop and it took 3 phone calls and 3 online chats to get 2 months of canceled service refunded. Awful.
Both are AT&T, so It’s a draw.
And I do hate them but not quite as much as I hate the other cell companies and cable/internet companies.
