I’ve been itching to get rid of Comcast for a long time. The issue is they suck you in with their bundles that include voice, high speed internet, and cable TV service. When customers try to remove one, you lose the savings of the package.
But the cable TV service just needs to go, as the service and quality is below average. There is so much discussion these days about hi def, there just wasn’t much selection with Charter cable television. So I began doing a little research on who else was providing service in my area.
I happen to be one of the people who have a few options. Unlike most subscribers who can only select from either the cable company or DIRECTV satellite service, I have a third option in my region. The old telephone company in my area has been altering their network. Now there is another consideration with Verizon and their fiber optic service.
That doesn’t mean of course I won’t have the same issues. It would place me in the same situation as with the cable television company, as the phone guys want customers to bundle their TV setup with internet and voice service. If the service is good, customers will be pleased. But if its not you’re in the same circumstance that I’m in now with the cable operator. So I’m doing a side by side comparison, cable vs Direct TV so I make the right choice.
The reviews I found on the internet are fairly good on telecom television service. Of course it is new, there is always a risk with a new technology like this, and some customers share their poor reviews. Some of those reviews are the quite amusing, simply for the reason customers decide to write a dissertation on their horrible experience and post it on the internet. Unhappy customers badmouth the company like it is some huge conspiracy to make the customer unhappy, like the company does not want to make money!
Another option I’m looking into is of course satellite TV. Because we have four TV watchers in our home, we usually buy a premium cable television bundle. The satellite TV choices seem to be pretty even, as the DirecTV Premier and the America’s Everything Pak by Dish Network are both right around $105 a month. Sure that’s fairly pricey for cable television, but if you compare that to treating your family to dinner and a movie, it really isn’t all that much. Some of my family speak Spanish, so the DIRECTV Mas bundle looks like a winner. The good thing is that there are plenty of Direct TV opinions to help me decide which direction to take.
