We switched from Comcast to Directv. Comcast is very reliable but when the signal does go out, it's for hours or even days. Customer service is the worst I've seen. I kept their internet service because there really isn't a good alternative. Once they cut my internet cable and it took 5 days to fix.
Directv SD rarely goes out for more than a few minutes at a time. HD might go out for 15 minutes or so in a very heavy storm. I did not notice an outage on Tuesday when it rained all day. But then I have Genie and one of their DVRs which lets me program 7 shows at once and save 300 hours of HD. I rarely watch live so I can skip commercials. Directv customer service is great. I pay about $100 per month with no premium channels. Directv has free premium trials every couple of months so I can catch up on new movies.
