Comcast
on the cape, anyhow... sucks:
1.) the money right outta your wallet
2.) service.. yeah.. right, sure, at least thats what they call it.
3.) they are out, just about as often as the NSTAR electric that we pay waaaay too much for also, anytime the windspeed exceeds the velocity of a good chili fart... poof... out.
4.) did I mention the $$$$$ up, up, up....
5.)they sucketh...................
but they are THE MONOPOLY of the moment, NO competition.
The folks with Direct TV down here have issues with the weather and wind as well, I am looking for alternitives, and talked to several with the dish on the roof, but they put up with it, cause they hate Comcast so much.

yep that's the ones, and no stupid questions,  only stoopid answers 
just talked to a guy down the road from me, looks like I'd have to cut down a few oaks to get optimum direction... but
much cheaper than Concast.
hmmmm firewood  |

Karl the directv I have has only gone out 3-4 times in the last year and 1/2. And every time it's been because of VERY severe storm cells moving through. I have 100% signal here....if a heavy enough cell moves over it's down to ZIP. But it's right back again as soon as the storm cell lessens and passes over. If you've got problems where it continually goes out then you have a bad path to begin with. More likely to go out with poor sig. Is there another place you can put the dish with a sw exposure or where it has a good look at sw? I know you guys that grump about cable will like directv it's been pisser here! My dish will only work in one spot...at the top of the 40' peak  Rest of the trees are WAY too tall and block the dish. I've not had a problem with snow on the dish either it's always there snow or no snow.
These cable companies are trying to brainwash you about the wx thing though cuz if it's done right it does work. |
