I have Comcast in one place and DirecTV in another, don't ask why.
As far as I can tell you, DirecTV has been a better services provider and the signal doesn't cut out as they claim, the commercials they show, the dish is always mounted on a pole or they don't mention that install is free now a days.
Comcast in the other hand, are rude. Signal goes out for no aparent reason, and they have problems upgrading their recievers. Their channel guide is always on the brink.
This is no attack on cable, cable it self could be good, but this is about Comcast, its a horrible service provider, and it is a bit more expensive. I would go with dish, its cheaper and they have a better customre service record.
