Broadband: download good, sometimes excellent. Upload could be better, sometimes poor.

Broadband is the the reason I have cable. If you have good broadband and access to certain places, you really don't need anything else...

Phone: Never used it, so don't know. Last time I checked five years ago caller ID wasn't even available in my area. Don't know about now.

TV: The biggest frustration about cable has always been about its tv service and I'm not talking about anything major, but the minor niggly things that make all the difference.

Cable stbs have always been slow and sluggish. Being able to change channels instantly, should be the norm, not a pipe dream.

The ability not to reorder channels as I want them is a huge frustration. I can order my channels exactly as I want on Freeview.

When did it become a luxury to record tv (tivo/V+) and pay extra for the privilege? And why can't I transfer programmes off the tivo onto a hard disc on my computer to keep the shows. It renders the tivo useless and I've barely used it since I've had it.

And of course the lack of certain main channels has always been an issue.

Cable Tv should be the best, but its always played catch-up to someone else and its user interfaces and hardware have never been up the standard they should be.
