Decades of operating as monopolies has made cable companies complacent and indifferent to customer needs and new technology as compared to DIRECTV, the consistent industry leader in customer service.

While DIRECTV offers new state of the art high quality video quality all the time, m old monopolistic control over the cable markets for too long has resulted in cable companies offering poor service, fewer programming choices, lower quality, and high price increases.

Digital Cable requires an analog to digital conversion that limits system performance and degrades viewing quality compared to the DIRECTV 100% Digital Satellite delivery that creates strikingly sharp and clear digital picture images.

DIRECTV is consistently #1 in Customer Satisfaction according to JD Powers and Associates Syndicated Residential Satellite/Cable TV Customer Satisfaction Studies.

Although many cable subscribers are reasonably well satisfied with their service, many cable customers are unhappy with poor reception, frequent outages, limited channel selection, and high monthly fees for premium channels. DIRECTV is an excellent alternative.
