That's funny. I've had DirecTV before, and I now have Comcast. I would switch back in a second, but the Comcast Bundle is included in my monthly rent, so keeping them is kind of a no brainer. The only issue I ever had with DirecTV was reception during really bad weather. Comcast's hardware is shit, and their customer service is pretty much the biggest joke I've ever dealt with. I've talked to half a dozen or so reps, and EVERY one of them acted like they were doing me a favor. Rude as hell. I'd love to drop them like a bad habit, but it doesn't really make sense right now. I'll avoid them like the plague on principal when my lease is up here.

This is good to know. I hate rude sons of bitches. I really hope I have a good attitude tommorrow when they come to install my cable. They better have my shit ready for the game or you guys might hear about 12thMan..well, I won't go there.

@DRave. I'm switching for the same reasons GMScud just mentioned, service is really shitty during storms and the bundle package. I currently have my wireless service with Comcast and so the cable sort of makes sense. But I'm telling those motherfuckers, in no uncertain terms, I'll switch back in a fucking New York minute if they act like assholes. I've been asking about promotional offers, but they claim there aren't any. But all of this speaks, and I'm not really trying to go there, of lack of competition. In D.C. you basically have Comcast, DirecTV and RNC, which is shitty service for those of you who don't have it or have never heard of it.

The more I write about it the more I'm starting to get pissed. I feel sorry for the rep in the morning. LOL!

I'm going to the drunk thread.
