What cable company is good for?

Question

not just a cheap price for only one year

Answer 1

Generally speaking, there is only one cable service in any particular area.

In some cases, there is more than one, but this is relatively rare.

When there is more than one, it's not unusual for them to offer special deals if you sign-up for a years service.

Since there is great variation in prices and services offered from one area to another, there's no way anyone can fully answer your question.
