Pros: it's cable, they claim to be getting cable internet access up and running soon!
Cons: no choice, no WB, inconsistency
The Bottom Line: They've consistently switched prices, and service packages, making the experience painful and confusing... not what one might hope for from a service provider

| manky's Full Review: Falcon |
Unfortunately where I live, Falcon is the only cable option there is, unless you can make the switch to satellite... you're stuck with Falcon.
This fact alone allows them to take advantage of all of us who choose take it. They've just recently changed all the channels around, only to add 6 new channels (which by the way, you have to pay extra for) that are semi interesting, and some other random channels that together are redundant. Wait, they added tons of pay-per-view channels... (I'm still not impressed!)
We still don't have access to the WB (which is now considered a major channel) or any of the newer channels such as: TVLand, MTV2, Ztv, or even any good news channels.
During this recent change, cable was inaccessible quite frequently. The basic channels would flicker during prime-time programming. All-in-all, if there were any competition to Falcon in this area, I'd be the first to flee!
I must admit though, they do claim to be getting cable internet access available to the area in this next year, this will be a major improvement from the current possibilities. As long as they can improve service records, making it all worth the investment and wait!
