Depends on which one. Charter Cable, in this area, has been great (the
former High Desert Cablevision - Charter is currently a patchwork of
smaller systems that they bought; I understand they're working on bringing
everything under the same umbrella).

Adelphia in Cleveland was great when I used them a few years ago. Much better
than Cablevision, before they downsized to only serve greater New York City.
Of course, they went bankrupt and got sold off to Time Warner. No idea
how Time Warner is out there.

The cable companies have also been much better about opening up their networks
to competitors and not subsequently trying to screw said competitors.
