Smarthome Tech in America
by Rachel Oaks | Mar 17, 2020 | Reviews | 0
At CableTV.com, we love a good sci-fi show. It’s fun to imagine a future where smart tech is far more than a great way to stream TV—where technology becomes so advanced that almost every part of the character’s lives are automated. Wondering how close that science fiction is to science fact, we used Pollfish to survey eight hundred people, a group made up of 272 millennials, 261 Gen Xers, and 267 baby boomers. We hoped to observe a difference in smart tech use and opinions between generations.

Sparklight (Cable ONE) Customer Service Number 1-877-692-2253
by Rachel Oaks | Mar 6, 2020 | Reviews | 0
With no Spanish-language customer service, Sparklight gets an immediate ding from us. Sparklight services Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas—states in the top five for Spanish-speaking population density—so this is especially egregious.

If you want that security in the form of a landline with Sparklight, you’ll appreciate the simplicity of its plans and the guaranteed-for-life pricing. Plus, you can bring your old phone number with you, so you won’t have to memorize a new one or update your family and friends on how to reach you.

Like many telecom companies, Sparklight discounts its services when you bundle. And while some of its deals are stellar at first, you won’t get much of a discount (if any) after the first six months.

Sparklight—previously known as Cable ONE—has tidy little cable TV packages. While Sparklight won’t box you into a yearly contract, that flexibility will cost you another handful of dollar bills than most cable companies charge.

At first, Sparklight’s no-contract plans and high download speeds make it look like an ideal internet provider. But watch out for its restrictive data caps—those could end up costing you more than you’d expect.

If you’re a casual internet user—we mean occasionally checking email and social media kind of casual—and you aren’t fond of the other internet providers in your area, Sparklight, formerly called Cable ONE, is an acceptable option.

ESPN+ Review 2020
by Bill Frost | Mar 4, 2020 | Reviews | 0
Is the long-awaited ESPN+ the streaming service of your hoop dreams? Sorry, cord-cutting ball fans, but the emphasis of ESPN+ is on the “+” part. It’s more of a robust addition to, but not a replacement for, ESPN.
