I had Comcast for 2 years in Indianapolis and they absolutely SUCKED. My package included their internet service which was down constantly. I would call customer service and they had a recording (I became very familiar with it) that basically said, "We're down...deal with it".
To add insult to injury, the moron that installed my cable tv service crossed up my line so that there was ground noise coming in and HE COULDN'T FIX IT. I had to buy a signal dampener to cut out the ground noise, then run the cable to a signal amplifier in order to get a viewable picture...totally ridiculous!
There has only been one instance of weather-related issues with satellite, but it was a hell of a rain/wind/hail storm. I was just happy my dish wasn't ripped off of the house.
The digital cable service they offered was $60 a month. With DirecTV, I have the 150 channel package with 8 HBO channels on 2 receivers. The cost? $48. That was probably the funniest thing about the pro-cable propaganda I always saw on Comcast...they would talk up their "better picture" and "having a receiver on each tv". You never heard the cable honks say that their service was cheaper. Also, if you have digital cable, don't you have to have a digital receiver on each tv...JUST LIKE SATELLITE???
