Has anybody done a recent comparison ?

I get the impression that severity and duration of the weather related service interruptions are related to exactly where you are located. I though about this a while ago and was told by some that the interruptions are rare and only minutes. Then I spoke with other people who had a dish and went to cable because every time we got a rain shower their service would go out and sometimes stay out for hours at a time.

I'd check with people in your neighborhood or on your street if possible to find out what the service it like for them in that area.
