I recently moved to an apartment complex in the area & want to know who is the best internet provider in Morrisville. Do they offer just internet with no home phone & cable or do you have to bundle? What is the average price?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

TWC RoadRunner is the most popular high speed Internet service in this area. I have just their Internet service--no phone and no cableTV. You can get an intro rate of $29.99 for 6 months and the regular price is somewhere around $39.00 - $44.00/month depending on the speed you select.

Default Guess I'll Go With Them

Thanks LOTTAMOXIE for your reply. It looks like that's who I'll be going with. The choices seem pretty limited.

I don't understand why large apartment complexes aren't able to pair up with cable providers to provide more "deals." The cable company would win because more residents would become customers and residents would win because they would pay a "group rate."

Anyway, thanks again.

The FCC clamped down on exclusive deals by apartment complexes with cable providers a couple of years ago. Turns out, the cable companies were winning, the apartment owners were winning, but the residents .... not so much.

I live in Morrisville as well, and I'm with Earthlink. The service is actually through TWC still, but you get better pricing and speeds. You get 7 Mbps for $29.95/mo for first 6 months at the moment.
