As the title reads, I'm new around here. It looks like you guys have a great forum going.
Anyways, I am long beyond fed up with Comcast >.>
I have been looking into moving to satellite service but I just am not sure which route to take. So, here I am looking for some sound advice. My area has no offers of Fios or Uverse so those aren't even on my radar.
Currently I pay close to $190 a month w/ TWC. I do have HBO and Showtime (Only one of them in HD I think?) and also have my broadband with them. I do understand I would have to keep that or get DSL. I also understand that my rate for the broadband will go up to likely $60, or so?
Here are the questions I have to maybe help me along with this-
-Which provider is more reliable/offers better prices between Dish and DTV?
-Is there any way to figure out what my actual bill would be w/ satellite? I know alot of them offer discounted prices (for the first of the contracts) but I am trying to figure out what the total bill would be after all the taxes.
-Is it really worth the switch if it all comes out to be about the same? I am thinking it is if I swing the satellite service for $130 a month or so.
-Dish seems to offer better deals for HD receivers up front whereas DTV seems to want money for them? I would need 3 HD receivers and one standard.
-How bad is the customer service if/when you have an issue? I've spoken to some whom have had the services and the general idea I get is that it's great, if you never have a problem.
That's all for now I guess. Hopefully I am not being to burdensome I am just trying to rap my head around whether the switch is totally worth it for me or not. I do feel like I am not getting everything I should w/ Comcast currently.
Thanks in advance~
