directv or comcast????

[Bluefyre_Rob]

We've had DTV for several years now... one thing I can say in their favor is that whether I needed tech support or questions about our acount, I always got to talk to someone quickly who seemed to actually give a darn. We cancelled Time-Warner and started with DTV because T-W's customer service was terrible (and that's putting it kindly). Realize that DTV doesn't work if it's raining hard. Unless you're a TV addict, it's usually not a problem.

I've never had trouble with comcast or time warner. But I never had the others. What do I know?

Rico - you should have made this a poll. However as Mark can attest to I would not offer "Shoot myself in the head" as a choice.

I have direct tv which I got after I was tired of having them install my line 7...yes 7 times. They had to not only do a new connection... they had to climb up the pole and re-dig a new line. Finally on the 8th time i gave up on comcast. I pay one bill for super basic home phone (in case of emergency and to find my cell when I misplace it lol), the second stage of the tv stations and internet. I pay like $80ish for all. I have only lost a signal once in over a year of having it. I am quite content with Direct and internet and phone all through At&t. They offer gift cards of cash with bundle purchases. I got $200 back. If i have lost phone or internet I get excellent refunds. my 2cents.

+1 our exact situation.

How about none, I know you can't even imagine that situation.

directv...4 sure...

comcast isnt TRUE hd.. They encode and downscale all hd channels so they can fit more HD channels.

We have at&t Uverse. Better than Comcast and Directv.

I used to have the Time Warner bundle; phone, internet, cable tv. Never had any problems. When Comcast took over there were nothing but problems.

Now I have an antenna beside the house and a digital converter box. I miss Discovery, Nat. Geo., Animal Planet, etc., but I get to watch more PBS than before.

ATT Uverse
Got it bundled with my 18Mbps internet (thats right big i-net), cell phone and TV And the controls for my TV through my iPhone are aswome.

Comcast sucks, you don't want that.

[fshfrk]

I'm firing them next week. Ya'll convinced me!

How about Dish Network? sunrise

For yall that have Comcast, call 713-341-1000. The 1800 # wont help much. I called the 1-800 # yesturday because I wasnt able to get online. They told me that the modem was showing online and that they couldnt help. I would have to pay upto $50 for them to come to me. I held myself from saying stuff so I spent about 5 hours trying to fix it myself. So I called the 713 # just awhile ago and they got me connected in about 5 minutes!

Tried dish network and cable, but have AT&T Uverse now (Internet and TV bundle package) and am really happy with it, both service and pricing.
