I’ve been itching to get rid of Comcast basic cable for a long time. The issue is they give you a good deal with their packages that include telepone, hi speed internet, and cable TV service. When customers try to disconnect one of these, you miss out on the savings of the package.

But the cable television service just needs to go, as the service and quality is well below average. With so much talk these days about high definition, there isn’t much of that with Charter Cable. So I started researching who else was available in my neck of the woods.

I happen to be one of the people who have a couple of options. Unlike most folks who can only select from just the cable company or DIRECTV satellite service, I have another option in my area. The old telephone company in my area has been enhancing their network. So now I have an additional player with Verizon and their fiber optic service.

That doesn’t mean of course I won’t have similar problems. It would put me in the same boat as with the cable TV company, because telephone guys want me to package their television service with high speed and voice service. If the deal works out well, I’ll be pleased. Then again if the service is poor you’re in the same circumstance that we all hate, being stuck with cable TV that isn’t all that great.  So I’m doing a side by side comparison, cable vs Direct TV so I make the right decision.

Most reviews I found are pretty good on telecom TV service. Because it is brand new, there is sometimes a risk with a service like this, and some customers share their bad reviews. Some of those reviews are the funny, because customers decide to write a dissertation on their horrible experience and post it on the internet. They badmouth the company like it is some huge conspiracy to screw the customer, as if the company does not want to make money!

Another way to go that I’m seriously considering is of course satellite television. Since we have six television viewers in our house, we usually buy a high end cable television package. The satellite companies are fairly comparable, as the Premier DirecTV package and the DISH Network America’s everything package are both right around $105 a month. Sure that’s pretty high for cable TV, but when you make the comparison with taking your family to dinner and a movie, the entertainment value is comparable. Some of my family speak Spanish, so the Direct TV Mas bundle looks like a winner. The great thing is that there are plenty of DirecTV pros and cons to help me decide which direction to take.
