    Hello,

    You can get timewarner cable and they have packages with internet,tv and phone. Dish network is much better for indian channels but not everyone gets a signal on their patio. As far as making friends goes, it is easier to meet people in meetup groups as people in the groups are looking for friends. Don't get discouraged if people stare at you, and don't seem very friendly... it seems to be a trend for indians in OC, it can be tough to make indian friends here but it is possible.

    hope this helps

    Shobhna

    Another option is to take good internet service like time warner or cox, get vonage or allvoi or ooma for international calls and dishworld for indian channels.

    DishWorld - Watch Live International TV Instantly

    Its the VOIP service of dishnetwork.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi Shobhna,

    You seem to be well informed and aware of the neighborhood in and around Irvine and I have seen you help many in the forum with information you know.
    I was hoping you could help me too.
    I will be moving to Irvine next month and I would like to know if you can recommend a good place for eyebrow threading,facial and also if you know of any good OBGYN.

    Thank you .

    Hello,

    eyebrow threading is goot at vinitas in tustin, they do facials too... as far as OBGYN goes it depends on your insurance. I have kaiser so i go to my GP for everything.
