DIRECTV

Directv blows. Yes their rates are slightly less than cable but the overall experience is not worth switching. First off they contract internet out to Verizon so you’re getting slow DSL. Second their «On Demand» service you have to wait to download the shows over your slow DSL connection. Additionally, we were thinking about switching back to cable so we called to see what they would do, if anything, to keep us. We were offered 3 months of HBO, SHO, Starz & Cinemax as well as the remainder of the NFL season Sunday Ticket. (This was October 2013). What was not explained was that by accepting this «offer» to stay we would be obligated to another 1 year contract. When I called to let them know we would be switching back to cable I was informed we would be billed a $ 140.00 early termination fee to get out of the 1 year contract we did not agree to. Not to mention the fact I now have a satellite dish on my roof that they won’t take back.
Do yourself a favor if you are thinking about going to Directv, don’t.
