DIRECTV Review

I will take DirectTV over Comcast anyday. I lost reception only a couple times & not for any length of time. Compared to Comcast. I live at the Jersey Shore we get some good strong winds but no problem. I've got the package deal TV, internet, & all local & long distance calls for a little over $100 (that includes 4 TV's). When my contract was up they tried to raise the price $40. I told them to disc. They called back & gave me the same package for another year. You can't beat that.

I too have had cable and directv. Cable seemed to go out with almost every storm. We've had satelite for almost 5 yrs and it has gone out about 5 x's. Four of those times it was because there was heavy wet snow on the dish.after we removed the snow it came back on. We too spend about 80.00 a month and we'll never go back. As to the call center, they are very difficult to understand them since they seem to be foreign. We called once about a problem with our bill and the guy on the other end kept telling us there was nothing wrong with our service! He hung up on us because he wasn't getting his point across to us.

Be VERY glad you've never had to deal with their customer service department. I've never dealt with more incompetent people!
