...pay the bill? This is in the U.S. btw.

A buddy of mine owns a house and he asked me if I wanted to move in and be a roommate. He owes some money to the cable company and it's shut off now. I wanna move in as it will be much cheaper than my apartment now, but I don't want to be stuck without cable and internet. Can I put the cable/internet in my name and have it turned on to the same house? Or will he have to pay the bill first?

I know it's not the right thing to do, but it's not my bill either. Hopefully he'll get it paid and we can avoid all any complications. If not, then I'll wait until he gets it paid. Thanks in advance for any info.
That was quick. Thx guys.

Yeah, he will help pay the bill. There are other circumstances that are personal as to why he couldn't pay. He doesn't have many bills and he makes enough to cover them, it's just that he couldn't at the time.

I will certainly bring up going through DirectTV as I really like their services. I don't know about AT&T for internet though. Can they compete with Cox? We both play many online games from WoW to PS3 and XBox 360. I want the fastest connection possible. If AT&T is close to Cox in that aspect, then I'll certainly consider them.

Thx again!
Bah, sorry guys. I can't vote your answers up. I have to be level 2 or something like that. I do appreciate the answers though.
