I've been with Direct for 3 years now and last night my signal went out. Called and it will be until Sunday to get it back up. I bitched and since I'm currently in my 3rd month of a 24 month contract they basically told me to frick off. The "retention specialist" actually told me "I don't have time to play." So I'm thinking about switching to Dish and just paying the $420 in ECF. Is it worth switching to Dish or just stay with Direct? Only other option is Comcast and not interested in that.

TIA

You shouldn't have to pay an early disconnect fee after the initial 2 years unless you did a clown move after the first 2 year contract.

I love directv but the wait time for technicians is usually just total shite. I don't know if dish is any better though, haven't used them.

Of your options stay with direct tv. My wife had dish at her old place and it absolutely sucked anytime I had to deal with their customer service. I haven't had any issues with DirectTv but thinking of switching to U-Verse when my 2 years is up if DirectTv doesn't hook me up in August with free Sunday ticket

I have Dish and like it. I wouldn't pay $420 one way or the other to switch. They aren't that different.

Although I probably would leave DTV if I had it no matter what the cost if they don't get the SECN.
