One of those may have been ours
We had Dish up north then used the Dish Mover program to have it down here for the balance of our contract. But sadly, as much as I loved Dish's customer service more than Comcast's or Verizon's (both of which we previously had up north), we ended up going to Comcast because there were just too many storms knocking it out.
I put a spreadsheet together that compared what we were paying for Dish + CenturyLink (for interent) to Comcast over a 3 year period (factoring in what it would be going up to after the initial 6 month cheap rate) and it actually worked out about the same dollar-wise for our 3 HD-TV plus internet configuration. Comcast won out because of it not going out during our nasty storms, its faster internet speed compared to Century Link's DSL, and the fact that Comcast now has the AnyRoom DVR which was a nice feature that Verizon FIOS had.
Just my 2 cents....it's still early days for this new relationship!!
