1. I got mine with tv. Of course the major problem? Nothing on tv.
Actually, they charge more for high speed 10, mine is 1.5, fast enough for me.

4. You get a package, tv, internet, and phone if you want. The router
provides internet and another line to the tv with another box which gives me HD TV. Groovy. If there was anything on.

2. Only thing left is Cellular or Satellite and both are more expensive. Some cities and airports have
free wifi hotspots, also libraries are usually free.

6. Perhaps
An ex of mine gets interment only through Comcast in WV. You just have to ask and find out. They aren't going to publish that on their website.

8. it's all about where you live right now
Clear is selling 4G wireless in certain areas of certain cities...and it isn't too pricey by comparison. The only other hope is satellite which is slower by far and much more expensive...
