I have been with Comcast for 10 years. They take away things from us, and charge us more.
Currently, we get the Basic package, 1 HD box, 1 standard box(65 SD Channels, 30 HD Channels), Unlimited Local and Long Distance Phone, and 6.0mbps "high speed" internet. (It is supposed to be 12.0)
Our service sucks!!!! Internet constantly goes out, TV is constantly distorted. Phone works ok but randomly get a bunch of beeping noises, like theres interference from somewhere?
We live in the middle of nowhere so our options are Dish, DTV, and Comcast.
Should I make the move to Directv? Dish isnt an option. I would have already had Directv, but the price I was quoted wasnt the price I was actually going to get.
I was quoted as getting Choice Xtra(220 SD, 70 HD), plus the Sports Pack (40 more channels), plus 4 boxes(2 HD, 2 SD), plus Unlimited Local/Long Distance and 6.0mbps Internet thru AT&T for $110 a mo 1st year and $140 a mo 2nd year. Well after I agreed they told me it would be $130 first year, and $170 2nd year so I said screw it and cancelled the order.
Still, even after Directv pissed me off to no end, I hate comcast so much that I still wanna switch.
Do you recommend the switch? If so, why? i would like to hear from former or current customers of 1 or both, and hear why you perfer which.
Also, im a huge sports buff, so all I really care about is sports in HD. Hows the quality of those on DTV??
It seems like a no brainer on paper(but I still would love input.....I can only find input from 2008 on the forums, so those arent helping)
