hi, we are with swisscom for internet and fix homeline.
For the digital tv we have upc cable com.
We are making up ourmind to move with a combined offer to upc cable com case they are now offereing 250mbit/s.
How ever we have always been happy with swisscom help line or custumer service, unfortunately thats not the case of what i heard from the helpline of upc.
Technicaly it depends also on the state of the interior wiring of your buildinf in order to have an optimal use of the upc cable com, cause all the signals comes through your basic cabel tv connection.
as from there its up to you.
goodluck

I'm in Baselland and use InterGGA which also is a cable connection.
Does anyone know how this service compares to the other cable systems?
I'm not much of a IT nerd so I have little idea. That said, I doubt if there is an option of changing services.
