Default Comcast

Finely had it with Comlast! Dumping them, I don’t care if I have listen to radio the rest of my time here. Going to try dish network. They have better line up and 1/2 price for what I want. Comcast January rate hikes was last straw for me.

Sorry to hear that. I have had Comcast for years and would never think of changing. They always seem to accommodate me when I have issues.

You'll say the same thing about Dish when they hit you with rate hikes after the "introductory rates". And streaming is the solution? Just wait until they start charging for data usage.

I dumped Comcast in 2008 and went with Directv, and still have them 12 years later. If I were starting over, I would stream and use either youtube TV, Hula TV or Fubo TV. Dish I wouldn't use, missing too many channels.

Still have to have internet service to stream? I only watch about 15 maybe 15 channels. Don’t care about football, baseball, or basketball, and 3/4 of Comcast channels that repeated 3 times with HD BS. Plus can’t list channels in number order with HD BS. Comcast also drops channels with plan you started with. I had dish for 10 years before moved here. See how it goes? At least I will be paying 1/3 less for two years. Plus two years long time, something better might come long? With same channels I have plus couple more old ones I use to watch like RFtv. Dish in battle with ABC right now. The only thing I would miss on ABC is jeopardy, damn sure won’t miss national one sided news.

That will be two years down the road? After that I may not need service here?

We have a Roku stick, youtube tv, Netflix, Amazon because we pay for prime delivery, and for MotoGP and Formula1 we get the channel for their season. If anyone increases their fees too much we substitute. So far not too bad.

Exactly. They're all the same. All of their customer service is terrible

Comcast has the best picture, convenience etc.

My son streams with youtube TV. He loved it until his rate doubled without notice. They are all the same.

Dish and Direct are both satellite , and as such you lose the signal in heavy storms even when you switch SD not HD , streaming is by far a better option if your tv is not a smart tv add roku or fire stick to stream. Not difficult to install with common sense.

I haven't watched TV in at least 6 months. Don't miss it one bit.

Same here. We went with an antenna, fire TV, and century link for internet.

Wait until it rains and you lose reception with Dish and DirecTV
