For the third time (maybe I should start a log), TimeWarner cable has failed again. Failed at what? Providing a steady Internet connection. Unbelievably, it’s about 12:00 noon and my internet connection has failed with only two devices connected. Thankfully, PDAnet ($18) and my Android phone with Tmobile have saved me again.
Sheesh.
This has made me consider dumping TimeWarner Cable altogether in favor of a DirectTV and Clear mobile internet option. It’s an option that a colleague suggested when I noticed she had a Clear USB mobile internet connection. Her Internet was faster than mine, and it was unencumbered by specific content filtering perspectives.
Of course, it will be awhile before I can make a change, but it’s fun to imagine better service for Internet.
Here’s how I broke out the info:

Miguel, I definitely would not switch to satellite for TV or Internet service. I had Dish service for awhile and hated it. Whenever it rained, TV shows went out. In one month, and I forgot which one, when the satellite rotates in the atmosphere, somehow the signals are blocked to the Earth and you the TV signal for several hours at a time. Don't believe the sales people when they say you will not lose your signal when it rains. The low monthly fee isn't worth the hassle. I didn't have satellite internet service as it was cost prohibitive at the time but the same issues apply regarding the loss of signal due to the rotational path of the satellite and weather patterns.

@Kim really? What a disappointment. I was hoping it would be a viable alternative. I may have to drop my Internet service through TimeWarner and switch to Clear.
