What's the best option for internet service? I don't need cable or a landline if that changes your answer any.
Turns out the apartment complex we're moving to only has Suddenlink, so that should be interesting!BCStalk said:
Depends on where you are moving. We only have one company that services both cities and it's Suddenlink. There are other companies like Brazos WiFi that offer wireless.
Just note that Suddenlink is terrible. You will see at least one thread a week here complaining about their service.
That is a good point. I had issues with the customer service/billing due to having a lost in the mail credit card that resulted in a credit card number change then failed payment through Suddenlink. They required that I go to the office in person and pay instead of on-line or autopay. A real pain in the rear and I found it odd that an internet company would not accept payment online.gbaby23 said:
I have never had any issues with Suddenlink internet. Sometimes their TV can have issues, but for internet I have never had any issues.
For the fastest speeds and unlimited data, they are, by far, the best option even if you had choices. I would agree with others though, if you do have a problem with Suddenlink, their customer service is terrible. They have a monopoly on the area so they have no incentive to provide any service above hooking you up and getting you to start paying for internet/cable/phone.

Also, I have a second question that I just thought of right now when I said "Michiganders". What's the protocol on the word "Texan"? I feel like it's one of those state demonyms that has some extra weight to it, kind of in a league of its own, along with "Hawaiian", and just living in a place doesn't automatically grant you the right to call yourself by that name- especially if you're a transplant. Does being a resident of Texas automatically bestow Texan status onto you, or are Texans born rather than made, and everybody else is just living in Texas?

There are sooooo many texmex places around here. You can eat at one every night for a month or more, then you can join in the arguments of which one is best...by the way it's Chuy's for lunch and dinner, Jesse's for breakfast
That's kind of what I thought. Noted.Quote:

I've heard of some places where "which church do you go to?" is a usual small-talk question when you first meet somebody. Is BCS like that? If it is, will I be given a hard time if I say I don't go? I don't go looking for trouble or arguments when it comes to religion, so I don't want to stumble into any.

Welcome to town!
All this rain? That is not what it usually does around here, so be prepared for the hot, humid and dry. However, enjoy the lovely green and nice temperatures while you are out exploring your new home. (Speaking of home, were you all at Sparty, Wolverine or one of the small schools?)
Since you moved here during baseball season, see if you can snag a ticket to Aggie baseball at Olsen Field. (Excuse me, that is Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park) The games are well attended but with most of the students starting to move home for the summer, you ought to be able to find a seat.
Speaking of students moving home, the experience of driving around town during the break is what the locals (who don't have student-dependent businesses) enjoy. It has gotten a little less noticeable as the city and university have grown, but it is still a big difference from August.
Like others were saying, FM roads reflect the rural past of America. I love the Farm to Market roads that are still further out for a day out enjoying the country.
Howdy!
