Which is better, Comcast cable or DISH Network?
We don't like Comcast - their service isn't very good and their bundled packages for phone/internet/cable cost a fortune! We've been considering a dish so we can dump Comcast but want to be sure it will be worth it. Does anyone have any experience moving from cable to dish? Are they comparable? Is the price reasonable?

Hi,
switching to DISH definitely is worth! The packages start from $19.99 monthly only and the picture quality is great. Unless you have severe storms you don't have to fear losing the signal, and you know how long severe storms last, not very long. I had more outages from power outages than from losing signal *lol*
You might check out http://www.dishnetworkbargains.net/ - they have some nice promos currently running and their customer service is quite good, that's for me as important as the prices. They have different packages listed on their homepage. As far as I know they also offer internet services. Call 'em up and simply ask what you need to know, doesn't cost anything except a few minutes of your time.
Best wishes

If you have snow, high winds or bad rain anytime around your house you wont like a sat dish very much. I think Comcast with thier $99 a month for internet, TV and phone is a great deal! A couple less bills per month and you dont have to trek out in the snow to wipe off your cable so you can watch TV.
I have worked for Adelphia for about 6 months now my uncle has a dish and he thought it was great until it didnt work and it took the dish guys 2 weeks to come fix it. He has Adelphia again.

I like comcast, they were so good to me until i moved out of their cable area. I paid 60 a month for cable and internet. Now we have the 3-in 1 package Dvr,digital, and internet for 99 a month its great!! They've always worked with me too when i lost my job and they didnt charge me a big deposit or ask for a credit card. I think they may be asking for them now, not sure. Oh yeah they changed comcast to Time Warner cable. Good luck!!

DITCH THE COMCAST AND GET DISH NETWORK. I HAD IT AND IT WAS GREAT. I WAS ON CABLE AND ALL THEY EVER DID GOOD WAS RAISE THE PRICE, CONSTANTLY. I SHUT 'EM DOWN AND WENT WITH SATELLITE. THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
