G'Bye to Comcast
Comcast's bandwidth grab at the expense of its customers, its horrendous customer support related to the same, its lying and/or incompetent reps, its spies here on LiveJournal, and its attempts to charge us for the privilege of them doing all of the above to us have led us to order DirecTV.
It will be $19/mo cheaper for the first 12 months, $2/mo more expensive thereafter and will give us around 50% more channels, of which one is of interest to me: BBC America. If you do the math, you'll see it's going to be about 10 years before DirecTV ends up being overall more expensive than Comcast.
Will write more about whether DirecTV's service is as horrific as their competitors; our install date is on Friday.
