Comparing Cable vs Dish Network
Written by Post on December 30th, 2009 in Arts & Entertainment.
Cable TV deals are easy to find, that is as long as you aren’t already a subscriber to Comcast or Time Warner.
The reason for that is because the cable TV company wants to build their customer base, so of course they are willing to offer you a good deal, generally for the first six months of service. The cable company understands if you sign up with them, you probably will set up a so-called bundled packages that puts all of your services together like voice, video and internet.
You can almost alway get a triple play bundle for around 0 a month for the first year. Here is an example of what cable TV company pricing could cost: Basic TV costs per month, high speed internet is per month, and phone service is per month. With prices like this, your overall bill would be 0 per month plus all of the taxes and charges that find their way onto your cable bill.
But it is good to consider how this could turn out down the road Well think about where you will be once your promotional period is over. Then you will have all of your TV’s connected to the cable company, your internet connection including your e-mail account through the cable company, and of course your home line with the cable company as well. But suddenly the price goes up nearly 40%, from around $100 per month to $145+ per month. Now is it easy to switch?
Maybe, maybe not. The smart thing to do beforehand is compare companies before making your final decision.One would be wise to comparison shop Dish Network vs cable before making a hasty decision.
While you might logically say it is not a problem to switch to some kind of deal from Direct Tv or something else from your local phone company like FiOS from Verizon. That is easier said than done, however. Often the time and hassle involved with switching from cable to a different provider makes the customer stay with whatever service they have. Even though the monthly bill is high, the subscriber stays with the company because they have all the services on the same bill from the same provider. That is what the cable TV company expects when giving the subscriber a good short term deal.
