I have had Comcast cable and internet for many years and have loved the service. I hated the price, but I have learned recently that you get what you pay for.
I have now switched over to Direct TV through Qwest, and I use Qwest High Speed. I don't have a problem with the high speed, but the Direct TV and Tivo I have are sad alternatives to Comcast Cable. The menu screen is too small for one. I guess they assume you will have a big screen TV to be able to read the menu. Nope, I'm on a budget, so no big screen. Comcast has a nice big menu and was wonderfully legible.
Second, the fast forward sucks on Tivo. Whether I'm using the 30 second fast forward or the 1st or 2nd speed fast forward, the damn thing loops continually! It is aggravating! The fast forward on Comcast was very responsive and I never had a problem. I now sometimes watch the commercials just to avoid the stress.
But, Direct TV costs less. I guess I have to live with the inferior technology and the reduced amount of free movies, because I am on a budget. Less I forget, the next step is to get rid of cable altogether and install the antenae on my roof. Egads!
