TWC or Directv

Just bought a new house and will be moving in a couple of weeks. Currently I have TWC with the bundle of digital phone, cable TV with whole home DVR, and digital phone. Got HBO and Cinemax on 4 TVs.  Bill runs around $200 a month for everything.

 

The house we bought already has a Directv dish. Trying to decide what my best route is to go.  I loathe TWC but my service has been ok.  Not impressed with the high speed internet (I'm supposed to have the highest residential service available but it doesn't dress out that way). Digital phone has been nice, cable tv works 99.9% of the time but whole home DVR stopped working last week.

 

AT&T Uverse isn't available here so it looks like Directv for television and Windstream for phone and internet.  Probably would end up going with TWC for internet regardless because Windstream's top internet here is 3mbps.

 

Right now leaning towards going back with TWC bundle but if I can save a few bucks with Directv I may give that a try.

 

What say you?

get Dish, Directv is in a state of chaos right now after being bought by att.  Dish will give you much more for your money than any other provider.  Also you could go the Dish streaming route, Sling Tv.  your tv channels are streamed over the internet.  Its $20 a month, no contract. I can give yo ua referral code to save you $50

all I know is god bless your soul if Access Media 3 is the internet provider you get with Direct TV. I have had soooooo much trouble with them in the past, finally got it "resolved"

 

For a solid 5 months during peak use hours (i.e. 7 pm to 1 am), I was getting internet speeds of 0.3 mbps. literally unusable. I spent a few days on the phone with customer service (I'm talking probably a combined 50+ hours) and actually ended up figuring out the CEOs email and getting a direct call from him. I was finally set up with someone who completely turned around the experience for me as she was incredible and was more than willing to help. 

 

would have 100% left earlier if my apartment didn't have a contract with them, and they were the only internet I could get.

I've had DirecTV for about 8 years now, both in VA at my last house and now in eastern NC. There's no way I'd consider switching to anything else. I'm sure there are differences in service areas and maybe some things that change geographically, but I've never had an issue with DirecTV. I have 3 sets in the house and a 4th in the master bath operating off the new wireless Genie, which operates off a router- no coax required. I have everything but CineMax and Starz for about $134/month. Absolutely no complaints with DirecTV.

 

Century Link has my internet at 10mbps for $34.95/month; no house phone.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
