Well...imagine my surprise when, after 4 phone calls and three different sales people, I find out that we can NOT get Spectrum at our address because we are in Comcast's territory!!! Am I the only person living in TV that didn't know these two companies have a "no compete" policy which means I HAVE NO CHOICE!! I am REALLY angry about this. The satellite companies can compete until we are all nauseated but you only have ONE choice for cable and that is dictated by your street address!! I like to have a choice - I detest having the choice taken away!!
We are really happy with our Direct TV and have in the last 8 years only lost service for a few minutes at a time during a heavy storm but it comes right back on. Did you have a service problem? Our reception is very clear and we love the variety.
