Senior Cable/Comcast alternative
Big full page ad in yesterday's paper for those 'frustrated with Comcast, etc?"
That pretty much describes me. Their most recent increase in 'equipment rental' may just have been the last straw.
We have tv (no premium channels), 200mb internet and home phone (which we don't need or want but because we have a package bill is cheaper than if we had only tv and internet ala carte. Our bill just went up to $197/month our highest utility.
These "senior cable" people are offering combo of Dish Network for TV and Spectrum for internet for $139/mo.
That's pretty darned compelling. Saving nearly $700/month appeals to me. So they say "anything that sounds too good to be true probably is"
Do you have experience with this company? I guess they are just an agent for a number of providers. Do you have experience with Dish or Spectrum? Do you lose reception in extreme weather? Is picture as good as Comcast? How is the service itself? We've had Comcast for decades, come close to leaving several times but have never pulled the trigger. I have come to the conclusion that all cable sucks but maybe Comcast sucks less. More expensive but at least you get the service you pay for.
I'm sure that many of you have faced this delemma.
What did you decide? Are you happy with your decision?
